March 28, 2017 | By Sikh Siyasat Bureau
Nakodhar: It was on Feb 4 1986, four youths associated with Sikh Students Federation who along with hundreds of other Sikhs were protesting against the sacrilege incident of Guru Granth Sahib, fell to the bullets of police at Nakodar. Today their 31st death anniversary was observed by their family members at village Litran, native village of one of the martyr Ravinder Singh. Other three were Baldhir Singh, Harminder Singh and Charmal Singh.
Ironically, the dead bodies of four were not handed over to family members for last rites and police cremated the bodies as unclaimed ones. Unfortunately, at that time Izhar Alam was SSP Jalandhar who is today senior functionary of Badal Dal.
