FARIDKOT, Punjab—A one member Investigation Commission which was appointed by the Punjab government to probe into the desecration incidents of Bargari and the martyrdom of two innocent Sikhs will be initiating its work on December 17. The commission which comprises of just one retired judge will be gathering statements of eye witnesses and affected people.
The commission was appointed on October 16 following the martyrdom of Shaheed Bhai Krishan Bhagwan Singh and Shaheed Bhai Gurjit Singh in police firing.
The retired Judge, whose name is yet to be announced publicly, will visit the venue of Bargari incident on December 17 from 10 am to 5 pm. An appeal has been made to the eye witnesses to submit their statements to the Judge in the form of affidavits attested by First Class magistrate, Notary Public or Oath Commissioner.
While Sikh24 denounces credibility of the commission, we urge those with first hand and credible information about the incident to meet with the Judge personally in the rest house of the Public Work Department on December 18 from 10 am to 5 pm. The Judge will also attend the witnesses to collect their statements in the form of affidavits. All the statements made before the retired Judge will be considered legal as per sections 176 and 177 of Indian Penal Code of 1860.
