Waris Punjab De chief Amritpal Singh willing to take dope test amid drug abuse allegations: Lawyer

Chandigarh: Waris Punjab De chief and Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh , currently lodged in Dibrugarh jail under the National Security Act (NSA), is willing to undergo a dope test , his lawyer said. The statement comes in response to allegations of drug abuse levelled by his own associates, as mentioned in a Punjab Police chargesheet filed in the Ajnala court last month. Advocate Imaan Singh Khara, who serves as the legal advisor and chief spokesperson of Akali Dal Waris Punjab De recently met Amritpal in Dibrugarh jail. He told the TOI, "Bhai Sahib (Amritpal Singh) has said that instead of levelling false allegations, Punjab Police may get his dope test done. He has said if Punjab police want, they can come to Dibrugarh to get the test done." Khara added that Amritpal has demanded that once he undergoes a dope test, the political leaders accusing him of drug abuse should also be made to take the test. As per the police chargesheet, Amritpal's two associates, Bhagwant Singh alias and Varinder Singh Fauji, in their disclosure statements recorded before the police, claimed that Amritpal was "hooked on drugs" in Punjab and "consumed them in Assam's Dibrugarh jail too". Khara and advocate Ritu Raj Singh Sandhu, the counsel representing the associates of Amritpal, have dismissed the disclosure statements, accusing the police of trying to "defame" Amritpal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Hi Tabbola Undo Khara alleged that "police got the signatures on blank papers". On Thursday, when brought to a court in Amritsar in connection with the Feb 2023 Ajnala police station attack case, Bhagwant Singh 'Pradhan Mantri Bajeke' was heard shouting and denying that he made any statement on Amritpal taking drugs. As he saw the media persons, Bajeke, who was escorted by policemen, alleged that "we were beaten up and made to sign thousands of papers and recorded on video." Khara said he met Amritpal in Dibrugarh jail on July 24 in connection with "a writ petition we will file in the Supreme Court to challenge the NSA" under which Amritpal is detained in Dibrugarh jail for the third consecutive year now. Khara said, "It took two suitcases of documents weighing around 25 kg, which I brought from Dibrugarh jail, to prepare the grounds for the writ petition to challenge the NSA in the Supreme Court. The documents include challan papers in Hari Nau (Gurpreet Singh) murder case, papers of grounds of detention of NSA, order of detention, and others. The documents are very voluminous and are in both English and Punjabi language. These are single-size printed legal size papers." Khara said Amritpal was very upbeat about "Mission 2027" to prepare for the 2027 Punjab elections "to safeguard the interests of Punjab" and to "make Punjab drug-free." Khara added that Amritpal told him that "search was on for a party candidate for Tarn Taran by-poll and a good person would be brought forward." Ends MSID:: 123046954 413 |

Stranded medico's dad says his son subjected to conflict training

Chennai: Kishore Saravanan, the stranded medical student from Russia had sent a desperate audio message to his father in Cuddalore on Thursday saying he was about to be sent to the war front on Aug 2. His father Saravanan, who met the media here on Friday, said that his son was subjected to conflict training and was being forced to consume steroids to withstand the pain. "Crying for help, my son said no one can see him alive if he was taken to the warfront on Aug 2," said an emotionally charged Saravanan. "Kishore said he was tortured, forced to consume chemicals and steroids, and given military training. He begged us to save him," Saravanan said urging the govts to act fast to rescue his son before he was sent to the warfront. Kishore Saravanan, a third-year medical student in Russia, was booked in a drug peddling case and has been taken away by the police there. Kishore claimed he was framed in the case and that Russian authorities had forcibly enlisted him in the armed forces there. MDMK MP Durai Vaiko who was at the press meet said he has petitioned external affairs minister S Jaishankar seeking Kishore's immediate repatriation under the Indo-Russian prisoner transfer treaty. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Signs Of Heart Attack That Shouldn't Be Ignored (Take A Look) TheDaddest Undo "Twenty days ago, his parents received a confidential call from him, detailing how he was coerced to sign documents and taken from prison to a military camp near the Ukraine-Russia front," he said. Durai alleged that Russia, facing severe manpower shortages in its ongoing war, is forcibly enlisting prisoners from nations, including India. "Hundreds who went for education or work are being falsely implicated, jailed, then trained and sent to the frontline," he said. "This is something we've seen only in terrorist organisations, never before by a govt." Durai said he has gathered signatures from 68 Indian MPs across 15 parties supporting his demand for Prime Minister's urgent intervention. "The external affairs ministry has assured it has urged the Russian Ambassador to halt Kishore's transfer and is processing documents to bring him back," he said.

Missing wife back day after Kolhapur man cremates body recovered from Krishna River he thought of hers

Kolhapur: A woman reported missing for 11 days returned to her home at a village in this western Maharashtra district, a day after her husband cremated a body recovered from the Krishna River in Miraj believing it to be that of his wife's, police on Friday said. The Miraj police are now ascertaining the identity of the deceased woman whose last rites were performed by Mahesh Thanekar (32), a resident of Udgaon village in Shirol taluka. Thanekar had on July 23 lodged a missing person's complaint with the Jaysingpur police in Kolhapur, stating that his wife, Sanjana, had gone missing since July 19. On July 29, the Miraj police told Thanekar that they had recovered a woman's body and that he should visit Miraj Civil Hospital to identify the victim. The police said the face of the woman, whose body was recovered from the Krishna, was swollen to the extent that Thanekar was initially unable to recognise her. But based on her clothes, which were like the one Sanjana was wearing when last seen, Thanekar concluded that it was his wife, the police said. The body was handed over to him and the last rites were performed on July 30 at Udgaon. However, a day later, Sanjana returned to Udgaon to make payment of an installment to a self-help group. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The villagers then alerted her husband. Police inspector (Jaysingpur) Satywan Hake said: "We were informed by the villagers that Sanjana has returned. We immediately asked them to bring her to the police station. Sanjana told us that she was married to Thanekar for four years and they had a fight the day before she left the house." He said, "Sanjana said she decided to leave Thanekar as she used to work to run the house as Thanekar would work some day and do nothing on other days. She left for her friend's place at Tasgaon in Sangli district. She had enrolled herself in a Bachat Gat (women's savings group) and on July 30 the day of Rakshavisarajan she arrived in Udgaon to pay the monthly installment." After she left, Thanekar initially did not start looking for her. However, as she did not return after days, he approached the police station to register the complaint. "The Miraj Rural Police have summoned Thanekar to find out what led to the mistake in identity. The Miraj police will investigate who the deceased woman was," Hake said.
