Bathinda, April 7 -- A Faridkot court has allowed a special investigation team (SIT) to examine Varinder Singh Fauji, a former National Security Act (NSA) detainee and a trusted aide of jailed Khadoor Sahib MP Amritpal Singh, as a witness in the 2024 murder case of Sikh activist Gurpreet Singh Hari Nau.

Gurpreet was shot dead in Kotkapura on October 9, 2024, while returning home from the village gurdwara on his motorcycle.

As per police probe, Gurpreet was allegedly murdered at the behest of MP Amritpal Singh, who has been lodged in Assam's Dibrugarh jail under the stringent NSA since 2023.

The radical Sikh leader and Canada-based designated terrorist Arshdeep Singh, alias Arsh Dalla, are among the 17 accused in the murder case.
