#PunjabFiles KILLI BODLA KILLINGS
In order to suppress the Sikh movement and kill the Sikh freedom fighters from Punjab, the government had given full authority to the police. To accomplish this mission, they were given the right to use any means necessary.
Besides picking up innocent Sikhs and killing them in fake encounters, the police also targeted those who sympathized with the movement. Many of the families had no links with the movement but only provided shelter and food for the fighters. One such family was Bhai Ajit Singh's.
One day DSP Dev Raj Sharma and SSP Satish Koshal came to the village with a large force and rounded the family members.
Following members of the family were present:
Bhai Ajit Singh โ Age 65
Iqbal Kaur โ 90 years old, mother of Ajit Singh
Jaswinder Kaur โ Age 40,wife of Dalbir
Following members of the family were present:
Bhai Ajit Singh โ Age 65
Iqbal Kaur โ 90 years old, mother of Ajit Singh
Jaswinder Kaur โ Age 40,wife of Dalbir
Lakhwinder Kaur โ Age 50, wife of Ajit Singh
Manjit Kaur โ Age 26, daughter in law Ajit Singh
Sukhwinder Singh โ Age 21, eldest son of Dalbir Singh
Narinder Kaur โ Age 3, daughter of Manjit Kaur
Ravinderpal Singh โ Age 1, son of Manjit Kaur
Manjit Kaur โ Age 26, daughter in law Ajit Singh
Sukhwinder Singh โ Age 21, eldest son of Dalbir Singh
Narinder Kaur โ Age 3, daughter of Manjit Kaur
Ravinderpal Singh โ Age 1, son of Manjit Kaur
Bhai Dalbir Singh himself was not present in the house and his daughter Jasbir Kaur had gone to Gurdwara Nanaksar Sahib along with her grandfather, Sardar Malook Singh. For this reason, all three members of this family were saved.
The Punjab police started their brutal activities under the command of DSP Dev Raj Sharma. All of the family members including women were stripped naked and tied to a tree with metal chains as seen in the picture below.
Indian forces dropping far below the morality level stripped naked a sister in front a brother and a daughter in front of her father. This was the greatest harassment they had faced but it was only the beginning.
Then they grated the skin of all the family members. Their heart piercing screams could be heard in the entire village. The Punjab police did not stop its lunacy and kept on grating the skin from legs and arms.
Skinning this Sikhs family alive did not satisfy the police. The police warmed the tar in the kitchen and poured it on the wounds of this family. Then they poured diesel on the wounds. The melted Tarmac can still be seen in the kitchen shelves even today.
The police stopped its vicious activities when the half-burnt Sikhs because unconscious and some of their fingers had separated from the body. Then the police decided to lay them on the floor after which they were fired upon and killed.
1 year old child Ravinderpal became unconscious after suffering an injury from a bullet that slightly hit his forehead. When the police were picking up the dead bodies and throwing them in the van, Sharma kicked the body of child and ordered his men to throw him in the van also.
Narinder Kaur, three-year-old daughter of Manjit Kaur was playing outside before the police started its game of torture. She became scared and hid in the bushes. Dev Raj Sharma had ordered not to spare anyone but a homeguard with the help of his fellow workers managed to hide her
To hide its criminality the Punjab police opened fire on the walls of the house and threw grenades on the roof and blew a hole in it. The police fabricated the story that the family members were caught in the crossfire of an encounter with the Sikh freedom fighters and died.
When the remaining family members returned home, they could easily tell what had happened by looking at the walls and diesel and tar spills in the kitchen. Pieces of flesh were still stuck in the grater. After all these years, memories are still fresh in their minds.
Parts of metal chains are still tied to the tree and discoloration caused by tar and diesel spills are still there. Ravinderpal had survived is a teenager. Scar of the bullet on his forehead reminds him of his family members that were brutally murdered by the Indian forces.
