Sources said Punjab Superintendent of Police Salwinder Singh, his cook Madan Gopal and businessman friend Rajesh Verma, who were allegedly abducted by the terrorists in Singh’s vehicle, were being questioned by National Investigation Agency (NIA) officials at his official residence here on Tuesday evening.
The SP, who was transferred from Gurdaspur last week, had earlier claimed that he, along with Verma and the cook, were stopped and abducted by 4-5 heavily armed terrorists near Kolia village, 25 km from Pathankot, on the night of 31 December.
The police superintendent’s seniors did not take his version seriously for many hours.
“I informed senior officers immediately. I don’t know why the delay took place,” Salwinder Singh said.
“Only I know what happened with me. I have got a new life. The truth has come out. Only I and god know how I returned,” Salwinder Singh said.
The counter-offensive against the terrorists by security forces inside the Pathankot base saw six terrorists being killed. Security forces lost seven personnel.
There are many questions that crop up from the can of worms SP Singh has opened. He now faces with sexual harassment charges. Read the full story here.
