Former Punjab Police DSP Convicted in 1992 Amrik Singh Abduction CasePreviousNext

A special CBI court in Mohali convicted former Punjab Police DSP Gurmeet Singh Randhawa for the 1992 abduction of transporter Amrik Singh from Ludhiana. Singh was found guilty under Sections 365 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code, while co-accused Parminderjit Singh was acquitted. Three other accused officers died during the prolonged legal process, which began after the Supreme Court ordered a CBI probe into the disappearance following family appeals and government claims of Sakri's death. Sentencing is pending.
