Always hungry for media lime light by hook or crook, Punjab Police has once again shown its true colours by framing innocent Sikh Men as Ultras.

Yesterday SSP Jagraon RK Jaiswal held a press conference and decalred that they have captured Babbar Khalsa Militants and gave a big concocted story of conspiracy and terror plans supposedly being hatched by the caught ‘militants’. Today at the first Judicial hearing in the Jagraon Courts Complex, residents of Maksudrhan, the native village of the framed innocents, were present in great numbers to tell the truth and blow the cover on the fake stories put forward by the Punjab Police.

Village Sarpanch (Head of Village Council) Thakur Singh said that Police picked up Bhagwant Singh and Chamkaur Singh from their respective houses just a day before the press conference by the Jagraon SSP. In the press conference the SSP stated that the ‘militants’ were caught at an isolated place alongwith arms and ammunition where they were planning their ‘action’.

Village elders further added that the police came in plain clothes and were heavily armed. The council head stated that these two innocents have no link whatsoever with Babbar Khalsa and the Police in order to score brownie points and have media attention are making a scape goat out of these innocent citizens.

Advocate Gurcharan Singh Bal while talking to the press told that Bhagwant Singh is a member of the Village Council and is active in the Village Welfare Society and is a model citizen. For the last two years he has been involved in each meeting of the Village Council and all the decisions of the Council carry his signature which is a proof enough that he was not traveling here there and every where as per the fake story of Punjab Police circulated in media.

Elaborating further he informed that Bhagwant Singh does not have any truck and cannot drive any thing else than a motorbike. All these facts point to various holes in the fake tale put forward by senior officials of Punjab Police.
