Jalandhar/Amritsar, March 3 -- A court in Gurdaspur has directed the Punjab Police and telecoms service providers to immediately preserve call detail records (CDR) and GPS location of police personnel involved in the encounter of Ranjit Singh, 19, one of the alleged accused involved in the killing of two police personnel. Hearing the petition filed by Ranjit's mother, Sukhjinder Kaur, seeking fair probe into the encounter, which she termed as 'staged', the court on Monday issued series of directions including preserving the calls records and GPS locations of Gurdaspur's SSP, in-charge of crime investigation agency (CIA) and station house officers of Dorangla and Purana Shala police stations from February 20 to February 28. The court also ordered to preserve all the call records and mobile phone location of the deceased. The court also directed the investigators to preserve the CCTV footage from the vicinity of the encounter and to include the same during the investigation. The public prosecutor opposed providing the call records and location data, arguing that it could endanger the security of police officials and reveal the identities of informers. However, the court observed that although examining the location data of police officials may amount to an invasion of their privacy, the right to a free and fair trial under Article 21 of the Constitution prevails in the pursuit of discovering the truth. On February 22, Punjab Police ASI Gurnam Singh and home guard jawan Ashok Kumar were found dead with gunshot wounds inside a checkpost at Adhian village in Gurdaspur district, about 2 km from the international border with Pakistan. Police later identified Ranjit Singh (19), Inderjit Singh (21) and Dilawar Singh (19) for their alleged involvement in the killings, believed to be at the behest of their Pakistan-based handlers backed by the spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). On February 25, Ranjit, a resident of Adhian village, was shot dead in an exchange of fire with police after he fled custody. Rejecting the plea filed by Ranjit's mother seeking post-mortem to be conducted at PGIMER Chandigarh, the court observed that so many days have already passed since the death of Ranjit, and it is necessary to get the post-mortem done at the earliest. "Accordingly, senior medical officer (SMO), Gurdaspur, is directed to constitute the board of doctors, as per the guidelines in cases of death in police encounter, constituted today itself to conduct the post-mortem on the dead body of deceased Ranjit Singh and to intimate this court immediately", the court said, besides ordering photography and videography of post-mortem proceedings. The court also ordered SHO of PS Purana Shalla is hereby directed to produce the file of the case immediately in the court. The court also directed Gurdaspur's SMO to constitute a three-member board of doctors to examine the gunshot injury on the arm of the CIA in-charge Gurmeet Singh, who was leading the team that allegedly engaged with Ranjit Singh. "The board must specifically report whether the injury appears to be self-inflicted," the court mentioned. According to the Punjab Police, Ranjit Singh was taken into custody on February 24 for an investigation. The police claimed that Ranjit escaped after the vehicle taking him for recovery of a weapon overturned in the wee hours on Wednesday (February 25). Police said that Ranjit was allegedly cornered near Purana Shalla, where he died in a shootout after firing upon the police. Countering police theory, Ranjit's mother alleged that the police had picked up Ranjit Singh from his home at 4 pm, a day before the encounter and concocted the whole story of an encounter. The Aadhian village panchayat also passed a resolution in support of Ranjit Singh's family....
