The first two cremations are recorded under the same Sl. No. 66/160 and carry the same postmortem report number RKS 17/90. The other postmortem reports are marked as RKS 15/90 and RKS 16/90. The cause of death is given as “police encounter”.

The Committee has the following information about the cases of Paramjit Singh, Bohar Singh and Mohinder Singh through its Incident-Report Form Nos. CCDP/ 01476, 01635 and 01684. The main informants are Paramjit Singh’s father Raghbir Singh; Bohar Singh’s sister Swaran Kaur; and Sawinder’s father Karnail Singh.

Seventeen year old Paramjit Singh alias Kala, son of Raghbir Singh and Balbir Kaur, was a farmer resident of village and post office Kirtowal Khurd, in Patti subdivision of Amritsar district. He was unmarried. Paramjit Singh sympathized with the militancy in Punjab. Around the end of 1989, he left home and the police started harassing his family members.

Twenty-three year old Bohar Singh, son of Kashmir Singh and Jaswant Kaur, was a young farmer from village Kalas, post office Mastgarh, under Khemkaran police station, in Patti subdivision of Amritsar district. He was unmarried.

In 1989, Bohar Singh began to associate with persons involved with the Sikh militant underground. Soon, the police found out and began to raid his house to arrest him. When Bohar Singh deserted his home, the police started picking up his relatives for interrogation under torture. His brother-in-law Tara Singh, his sister’s husband, was brutally tortured, his right leg knee joint fracturing in the process. Tara Singh remains bed-ridden.

Thirty-five year old Mohinder Singh, a farmer from Rasool Pur, post office Bhangala, under Valtoha police station of Patti Subdivision in Amritsar district, was also known as Sawinder Singh. He was married to Kulwinder Kaur but had no children.

Mohinder was a baptized Sikh and sympathized with the militant movement for Khalistan. He had been arrested before and charged with offences under TADA. Each time, after Mohinder Singh’s release on bail the police would pick him up again, interrogate him under torture and implicate him in another case. By 1989, Mohinder Singh was so fed up that he decided to go underground; this increased the police harassment and custodial torture inflicted on other members of his family, including his wife Kulwinder Kaur. The police confiscated all household belongings to pressure the family to produce Mohinder Singh.

On 24 January 1990, Mohinder Singh and his friends – Pargat Singh of Jhugian Kalu Walian village, Bohar Singh of Kalas village, Paramjit Singh of Kirtowal and Dilbagh Singh of Talwandi Chanchakk village were assembled in a farmhouse at Varnala village under Valtoha police station. The police found out and launched an attack after surrounding the house from all the sides. Mohinder Singh and his four colleagues were killed. The dead bodies were identified by the family members. For example, the incharge of the CRPF took Raghbir Singh to Valotha police station to identify his son’s body. The police, however, refused to give the families the dead bodies and carried out the cremations at Patti cremation ground. According to Bohar Singh’s sister Swaran Kaur, the families went to the burning pyres when the police officials went away after lighting them. Swaran Kaur, discovering that the wood was insufficient to completely burn the bodies, bought additional firewood and completed the cremation.

It is not clear what happened to the body of Dilbagh Singh whose cremation is not recorded in any of the CBI’s lists.

The police never returned the household goods belonging to Mohinder Singh’s family, including beddings, utensils, clothes and food.

The police also killed Mohinder Singh’s two cousin-brothers, Darshan Singh and Gurmej Singh, sons of Dial Singh and residents of Mehmoodpura, in a separate incident. ')"
