Punjab police have registered an FIR against ex-DGP Sumedh Singh Saini for abduction, torture and elimination of Balwant Singh Multani in a stage-managed case
Advocate Satnam Singh Kaler may have withdrawn from the defence of former DGP Sumedh Saini but controversy triggered by his move to appear for Saini refuses to die down.
After facing severe criticism from Sikh circles, Advo. Satnam Singh Kaler, who is also chairman of Sikh Gurdwara Judicial Commission, announced to withdraw from defending Ex-DGP Sumedh Saini.
Dal Khalsa spokesman Kanwar Pal Singh has urged the Chief Minister Amarinder Singh to arrest and prosecute ex-DGP SS Saini as merely registering FIR against him means nothing.
Sumedh Saini's close association with Badal family led Shiromani Akali Dal (Baldal) was so open that Saini is often termed as 'darling of Badals'. During their rule in Punjab, Badals saved Sumedh Saini from legal proceedings in Balwant Singh Multani's enforced disappearance case.
