Sukhpal Singh Khaira Scam

Heroin smuggling: No charges against Sukhpal Singh Khaira 

Former Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira’s name does not figure in the chargesheet filed by the police in the court on Wednesday, though the district police had linked his name with drug peddlers in the heroin smuggling case six months ago. The police, who had then tried hard to prove Khaira’s alleged links with drug smugglers, are now tightlipped over his involvement, in the chargesheet.

On March 5, the police had claimed that they had seized 2-kg heroin, 2 Pakistani SIM cards, a mobile phone, 24 gold biscuits (333 gm), two small arms and a Tata Safari from Gurdev Singh of Bholath, former chairman of the market committee, Dhilwan. Gurdev was said to be a close associate of Khaira. A case was registered under several sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, Arms Act and the Information Technology Act at Jalalabad sadar police station against 10 people. However, the special investigation team formed to investigate the matter is yet to submit its report.
