Sikh for Justice (SFJ), which has been demanding Khalistan for the Sikhs of Punjab, held a vote for the Khalistan ‘referendum’ in Rome, the capital of Italy, reports hindi.asianetnews.com. According to reports, more than 17,000 Sikhs took part in it, and on the same occasion, SFJ also announced the Khalistan plebiscite in Indian Punjab on January 26, 2023, on the occasion of India's 74th Republic Day. SFJ chief Gurpatwant Singh Pannun said in a statement that the polling in Rome coincided with the 38th anniversary of Operation Blue Star, when the Indian Army attacked the Darbar Sahib and killed thousands of people. Raising questions on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Pannun said that Narendra Modi has given a clear message to the government that the will of Sikhs cannot be broken by repression. Pannun said that the Indian Government has made every effort at every level to stop the Khalistan plebiscite, but it could not happen.

The Punjab Police, on July 12, detained some persons (identity undisclosed) in Malerkotla for questioning after 75 kilograms of heroin was found in their consignment of clothes at Mundra Port in Gujarat, reports The Tribune. The contraband was kept concealed in a container of unstitched clothes using a cardboard pipe, which was further camouflaged by an oversized plastic pipe. The container, which was loaded from Jebel Ali port in the UAE, was booked by an importer from Malerkotla. Following specific intelligence input regarding the smuggling of heroin from the UAE to Punjab, the State Police in a joint operation with the Anti-Terror Squad (ATS), Gujarat, and central agencies seized 75 kilograms of heroin from a container at Mundra Port, said Punjab, Director General of Police (DGP), Gaurav Yadav on July 12. The DGP said, “To ascertain backward and forward linkages, some suspected persons from Malerkotla and Ludhiana found to be linked with this import of consignment have been called for questioning.” Meanwhile, a First Information Report (FIR) under Sections 8C, 21C, 23C, and 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act has been registered by the ATS Gujarat.

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) on July 11 filed a chargesheet against two accused in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM), Dharamsala, for putting up banners of Khalistan outside the Himachal Pradesh (HP) Vidhan Sabha at Tapovan on the intervening night of May 7 and 8, reports The Tribune. A case under Section 153-A, 153-B of the Indian penal Code (IPC) and Section 3 of the HP Open Places (Prevention of Disfigurement) Act, 1985 was registered after a video message and a letter of Gurpatwant Singh Pannun of Sikh for Justice (SFJ) went viral on social media claiming responsibility for the act. Accordingly, based on the contents of the viral message, Pannun was named as the main conspirator and a co-accused in the case and Section 13 of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) 1967 was also added to it. The SIT had arrested Harveer Singh and Paramjeet Singh alias Pamma, both residents of Ropar in Punjab, and recovered from them a two-wheeler and a mobile phone used for commissioning the offence. They disclosed to their interrogators that they had also made a video of the crime scene shared it with Pannun.

Local Police said that the shots were fired at 9:30 am local time and that the man succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

Homicide investigators in Canada are trying to figure out who killed controversial Sikh community leader Ripudaman Singh Malik, a former terror suspect, wealthy businessman, and founder of Khalsa Credit Union and several Khalsa schools, reports Hindustan Times on July 15. Malik, 75, who was acquitted in the 1985 Air India Kanishka bombing by the Canadian judiciary in 2005, was shot dead by a group of three unidentified assailants outside his Surrey office in the Metro Vancouver region of the British Columbia province on July 14 morning. A spokesperson for the Surrey detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) confirmed, on July 15, that the killing “did appear to be targeted”. Malik’s death comes weeks after he travelled to India in May-June this year after having benefited from New Delhi’s whittling down of a blacklist related to pro-Khalistan figures in Canada and elsewhere. He also visited India in 2019. A senior Indian official, felt that it could be connected to his return to India, and concern that he may speak out about the Kanishka tragedy that claimed 329 lives. The official also expressed apprehensions over the style of killing, potentially pointing towards a link between pro-Khalistan elements and organised crime, much of which is run by Indo-Canadian gangsters. Malik’s change of heart had attracted the attention of separatist groups. In December 2019, Gurpatwant Pannun, legal adviser to the banned US-based Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), said in a release: “Instead of the stick, Prime Minister Modi and his agents are offering Sikh foreign nationals the carrot to once again visit family in India.” To be sure, there is no reason to connect the killing to SFJ, as the killers are yet to be identified, and the organisation has repeatedly stressed that it abjures violence in pursuit of Khalistan. “I just think there are so many potential motives,” retired RCMP deputy commissioner Gary Bass was quoted as saying by the Toronto Sun newspaper. Bass, who was in charge of the terrorism investigation into the 1985 Air India bombing, said, “I’m not privy to the ongoing investigations on Malik right now, but I can say that from years when I was that he was involved in a number of activities that might bring him into conflict with other people.” Reportedly, in January this year (2022), he wrote a letter praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for reopening the 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases, opening the Kartarpur Corridor, grant of Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA) license for the Golden Temple, among other initiatives, and also released an open letter to the community to renounce the demand for a separate Khalistan.

Over two months after a rocket-propelled grenade (RPG) was fired at the intelligence headquarters in Mohali, the Punjab Police claim to be closing in on the two attackers, reports Hindustan Times on July 16. According to a senior Police officer, privy to the investigations, the two suspects who carried out the attack on “direct instructions” from Pakistan-based Khalistani terrorist Harvinder Singh Rinda have been identified as Divanshu and Deepak. While Divanshu belongs to Haryana’s Jhajjar, Deepak is from Faizabad in Uttar Pradesh (UP). Their last known location is also somewhere in UP, said the officer. Rinda had allegedly also used the duo to execute two murders — one in Maharashtra’s Nanded (where the gangster-turned-terrorist’s group is mainly active) and another in Amritsar. “Although six men were already arrested for the conspiracy, they had no idea about the exact identity of the two attackers, who were specially hired and given online training to fire an RPG by Rinda,” the officer cited above said. The investigating team narrowed in on the two after analysing footage from more than 2,200 CCTVs and researching the data of over 100 hundred mobile towers across the state besides raw information gathered from those arrested and from a messaging app, said sources. “Special teams of the Punjab Police are still on the hunt of the duo, and around 20 days back, their location was suspected to be in UP,” said the senior officer. The attack was carried out at the Punjab Police’s Intelligence headquarters in Mohali’s Sector 77 around 7:45pm on May 9. However, no one was injured as most of the staff had already left the office by then.

The Police, on July 16, registered a case of sedition among other charges against Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, chief of the pro-Khalistan organisation Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), and his accomplices for damaging the railway track dedicated to supply coal to the thermal power plant in Khedar village of Hisar District on July 15, reports The Tribune. Police said unknown persons removed pandrol clips at around 60 points on the railway line about 400 yards from the Rajiv Gandhi Thermal Power Plant in Khedar, which is meant to supply coal to the power plant and is connected to the Hisar railway track. A video clip surfaced on social media in which Pannun is seen claiming the responsibility for damage to the railway track. The speaker, in the video, said this was the beginning of their designs to block the coal supply to many thermal power plants in the country. He claimed his aides had removed the clips of the railway line to stop the coal supply. The 2.40-minute video also has visuals of two persons removing the clips of the railway line. They also wrote a slogan, “Khalistan Zindabad”, in Punjabi on a wall. A Police spokesperson said on the basis of the video and other evidence, a case under Sections 124A, 336, 379 and 120B of the Indian penal Code (IPC) and relevant sections of the Prevention of Damage to Public Property Act, IT Act, Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA), and the Railways Act had been registered at the Cyber Police Station in Hisar and a probe against Pannun and other unknown accomplices was underway.

The banned terror organisation, Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), tried to arrange shelter for some of the killers of singer Sidhu Moosewala in Ambala (Haryana), phone recordings of US-based SFJ chief Gurpatwant Singh Pannun with two persons arrested in Patiala on July 19 have revealed, reports The Tribune on July 20. The multiple audio recordings have also revealed that the SFJ was planning to paint anti-India slogans on buildings on the Independence Day in Haryana, besides disrupting the August 15 functions in Punjab and New Delhi, especially those of the Delhi and Punjab Chief Ministers. The Police had on July 19 arrested two persons, Harvinder Singh alias Dollar (21), and Prem Singh alias Ekam (18) — on the charge of pasting pro-Khalistani posters on the boundary wall of a temple in Patiala. Railways stations in Ambala were also on their target. In the audio recording, Pannun is heard talking to the two youths about the differences between Ambala Cantt and Ambala City railway stations. He can be heard telling them to do a recce of the railway stations first, especially the entry and exit points. The SFJ chief tells them not to use the main routes. “Pannu talks about providing shelter to Moosewala’s killers, besides the use of drones. His voice has been verified,” the official added. The audio tapes show the SFJ is trying to exploit the sentiments of Haryana youth by claiming that the Punjab Police under the AAP government are painting them as gangsters and nominating them in the Moosewala murder case. “We will see how they touch you,” Pannu can be heard saying in the one of the audio clips. This, the police say, confirms that gangsters and radicals are working together.
