Ludhiana: The Doraha police was able to get the police remand of Sikh Political Prisoner Bhai Harminder Singh Mintoo on Tuesday (March 28) for four days. Harminder Singh Mintoo’s lawyer Advocate Jaspal Singh Manjhpur told Sikh Siyasat News (SSN) over phone that Harminder Singh Minto was presented in a Jalandhar court in relation to case but after that the Doraha police arrested him in a case registered at Doraha police station and presented him before the court of Judicial Magistrate, Payal.
Notably, the case in which Harminder Singh Mintoo is arrested was registered on 10 September, 2016 under FIR number 137/16 u/s 307, 336, 506, 148, 149 IPC and 25/27/54/59 of Arms Act.

Advocate Jaspal Singh Manjhpur maintained that prima facie it was a just a proxy case and the police seems to be interested to interrogate Bhai Harminder Singh Minttoo in relation to some other cases/incidents.
“This is clearly a proxy case as even the police and jail records show that Bhai Harminder Singh Minttoo was already in jail on the day when the incident realted to this case took place”.
“How a person could participate in alleged ‘attempt to murder’ at Doraha when he is confined in Nabha jail?” he asked.
Next court hearing in this case is on March 31.
