A peep into cop’s mental agony

The writer came down heavily on the means adopted to extract information from the nabbed terrorists and also disposal of the dead bodies. Repeated reference was made to the Harake fish pond where it is alleged that the bodies were fed to the fish.

Talking to Chandigarh Newsline, Gursharan said,“Ajit Singh Sandhu was the SSP of a very disturbed district and pressure on him was tremendous. It was a blot on his reputation and his repentance that drove him to death. But it were the seniors whose orders Sandhu obeyed faithfully who later on shunned him.”

The writer has recently been in the eye of a controversy after the SGPC president Gurcharan Singh Tohra called for a ban on the staging of a Gursharan’s play in SGPC-run educational institutions. The death of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra who had the evidence against the police for cremating a thousand-odd unidentified bodies, made the people turn truly hostile towards the police force and exposed their fake encounters.

The allegations levelled against the police officer who sometime back was considered a super cop, plunged him into depression as also his conscience pricked him. The humiliation dumped on the super cop drove him to commit suicide.
