Ropar, Punjab (August 07, 2014): As per information available with the Sikh Siyasat News (SSN), a Ropar court on Monday (August 04) adjourned the hearing of a 1990 alleged fake encounter case till to August 19. It is notable that Punjab director general of police SK Sharma and three other former policemen are accused in this case.

The prosecution evidence is likely to begin on the next hearing.

Kuldeep Singh (21), along with his cousin Jasmeet Kaur, had gone to Morinda to get medicines from a doctor on October 24, 1990.

“He was picked up by the police in a white-colour van” according to the complaint filed by his father.
