Suspended Punjab IG booked in fake encounter case

Suspended inspector-general Paramraj Singh Umranangal and two other policemen have been booked in a 30-year-old case of fake encounter. The special investigation team (SIT) revealed that the encounter was stage-managed and the FIR was registered by falsifying facts. The high court is hearing a petition filed by Sukhpal Singh’s wife Dalbir Kaur and father Jagir Singh, who have alleged that police killed Sukhpal and claimed they had eliminated terrorist Gurnam Singh Bandala.
