Mohali, November 11, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
A Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) court in Mohali on Wednesday convicted former Punjab Police Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Gurmeet Singh in the 1992 abduction case of Amrik Singh.
The case originated from a Supreme Court order dated November 15, 1995, in a civil writ petition filed by Paramjeet Kaur against the Punjab Government. The petition followed an affidavit submitted by Devinder Singh alleging that his father, Amrik Singh, was abducted from Hotel Amaltash in Ludhiana on November 25, 1992, by a Punjab Police team led by the then DSP Gurmeet Singh.
The CBI initially registered a preliminary inquiry before filing a regular case on February 23, 2000. After completing its investigation, the agency filed a chargesheet on November 27, 2001, against five police officials: DSP Gurmeet Singh, DSP Parminderjit Singh, SHO Suba Singh, Sub-Inspector Surinder Singh and Assistant Sub-Inspector Jaswant Singh. Charges were framed against them on April 15, 2004.
After the conclusion of the trial, the court convicted Gurmeet Singh under Sections 365 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Co-accused DSP Parminderjit Singh was acquitted, while proceedings against the other three accused were abated following their deaths.
The court is scheduled to announce the quantum of sentence for the convicted former DSP on November 12.
