Livelihood, like his four brothers, as a laborer. Sardool had no political or militant associations

Under Sl. No. 81/211, the list identifies the 02 August 1990 cremation of Sardool Singh, s/o Dara Singh, r/o Jodhisinghwala, carried out by the SHO of Bhikhiwind police station under FIR No. 77/90. The postmortem report is marked as MS 16/90 and the cause of death is given as “police encounter”.

The Committee has the following information through its Incident-Report Form No. CCDP/01524. The main informant is the victim’s brother Boor Singh.

Thirty-year old Sardool Singh was the son of Bhag Singh, a Mazhabi Sikh from village Jodh Singhwala, post office Bhangala, in the Patti subdivision of Amritsar. Bhag Singh’s name has been changed to Dara Singh in the CBI’s list. Sardool Singh was unmarried and earned his livelihood, like his four brothers, as a laborer. Sardool had no political or militant associations.

In the last week of July 1990, a group of police officers from Bhikhiwind police station came to Sardool’s house and after ascertaining his name asked him to come with them to the police station. When the family members asked the police about the reasons for his arrest, the SHO said that they wanted to question him in connection with a theft case. After some days, the family members learned that Sardool Singh had been declared killed in an “encounter”. From fear of further reprisals, his family did not go to the police station to make inquiries and reconciled themselves to what had happened.

No one from the family attended the cremation. Also, Sardool’s ashes could not be collected because of the lack of information. ')"
