Kolkata encounter: We are at peace now, say ASI’s kin

LUDHIANA: After the killing of Punjab’s most wanted gangster and drug smuggler Jaipal Singh Bhullar and his accomplice Jaspreet Singh aka Jassi in an encounter in Kolkata on Wednesday afternoon, the family of ASI Bhagwan Singh of Jagraon said they are at peace now.
A three-member team of Crime Investigating Agency (CIA) — ASI Bhagwan Singh, ASI Dalwinderjit Singh and home guard Rajwinder Singh — had on May 15 gone to New Grain Market at Jagraon in Ludhiana district after a tip-off that some liquor smugglers had sneaked in with a consignment of illicit liquor.
Acting on the input, the CIA team found a White i10 and a Canter parked there.
When the cops insisted on checking the two vehicles, the occupants opened fire and two ASIs were killed.
ASI Bhagwan Singh’s widow, 43-year-old Jaswinder Kaur said on Wednesday she is proud of the fact that the gangsters, who had murdered her husband and another police officer, were killed in less than a month after the incident.
She added the family is at peace now.
“My husband would work very hard and for him, duty came first.
When he died, we wanted that those who did this to him should be arrested and they have been brought to book in less than a month,” said Jaswinder Kaur, with her lone son Sukhminder Singh sitting nearby.
Bhagwan Singh’s mother, 75-year-old Tej Kaur, said that the accused had to pay for their bad deeds.
