Police arrests two in Rulda murder case
But Punjab cops' prosecution story is full of gaping holes
WSN Network 

PATIALA: There was no sign of shame and not even a hint of embarrassment when defence counsel Lakhwinder Singh Kaliraun pointed out that the two men allegedly involved in the murder of RSS activist Rulda Singh sport long hair while eyewitnesses had said in immediately issued statements after the murder that the attackers were clean shaven.

The murder occured only about a month earlier.

Now, the Special Investigative Team of Punjab Police has claimed to have cracked the case with the arrest of Darshan Singh and Jagmohan Singh, both residents of Bassi Pathana.

Patiala Range DIG SK Asthana, who heads the SIT, said Parmjit Singh Pamma masterminded the murder at the behest of Jagtar Singh Tara who was also involved in the killing of former Chief Minister Beant Singh.

The motive seems to be the ideological leaning of Rulda Singh which offended the radicals, Asthana claimed.

The DIG claimed that Darshan Singh had links with Pamma, now based in the UK.

He claimed that the SIT has also recovered the car and the revolver used by the accused in the killing of Rulda Singh. A total of six persons have been booked so far in the murder case.
