Singhu border murder: Accused Nihang Saravjeet Singh sent to 7-day judicial custody
New Delhi: A day after a 35-year-old man was brutally lynched and strung up at the farmers’ protest site at Singhu border, the police on Saturday said they have arrested a Nihang Sikh, Sarvjit Singh, in the case.
Singh was taken into custody after he surrendered to the police on Friday night for his alleged role in the lynching, said police. Police sources said Singh had come to Singhu border when the contingent of Nihang Sikhs had arrived there in the first week of December last year. At the border, he was the leader of a unit that tended to the horses.
Saravjeet Singh was produced before a court in Sonipat where he was sent to seven-day police remand.
In several videos of the brutal lynching, the injured man could be purportedly seen lying in a pool of blood, with one arm tied to a rope and his chopped off left hand next to his face, as several men stood over and questioned him about his identity. In one of the videos, he could be seen tied upside down while blood oozed from his chopped off wrist. He is seen pleading with protesters to untie him.
