n the case of the former Chief Minister of Punjab Beant Singh’s assassination, the Chandigarh court has acquitted Jagtar Singh Hawara, a terrorist associated with Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). He was granted relief in the RDX-related case. Chandigarh Police could not present evidence against Jagtar Singh Hawara in the RDX case in the District Court.
It was reported that Jagtar Singh Hawara had arranged for RDX along with his associates Kamaljit and Paramjit to execute the blast. The police had been struggling for quite some time to provide evidence in this case.
Now, the police told the court of his accomplice’s death. Due to the lack of evidence in court, Jagtar Singh Hawara has been acquitted. Currently, Hawara is incarcerated in Mandoli Jail in Delhi.
Both accused were arrested in 2005
