Speculations are rife over the fate of India’s wanted Khalistani Terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun who was reported missing since last many days. There is a buzz online that Pannun has been killed in a road mishap in United States. However, there is no confirmation regarding the claim from any credible source or quarter.
The news of Pannu’s death was, however, refuted by Sukhi Chahal, founder, CEO and editor-in-chief of The Khalsa Today, which is based in the US. Chahal inisted that SFJ chief was “alive”.
“Regarding news about the alleged car accident in my neighbourhood in California and the death of SFJ’s Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, I would like to emphasise that the information is fake and false. I kindly urge everyone to refrain from spreading his misinformation,” Chahal tweeted.
Gurpatwant Singh Pannun was officially labeled as a terrorist by the Indian government on July 1, 2020 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). Pannun gained notoriety for spearheading the Khalistan 2020 referendum across multiple Western nations.
His actions demonstrated a strong commitment to undermining India, as he actively campaigned against the country and sought to recruit Sikh children from his home state of Punjab to partake in his terrorist activities.
The SFJ is known for its advocacy of Khalistan, a distinct nation sought by the Sikh community.
According to reports, Pannu is currently named in 22 criminal cases, including three sedition charges in India.
Pannu, who resides in the United States, originates from Khankot, a village located in the Amritsar district of Punjab. He is recognized as one of the founders of SFJ, a group established in October 2007.
In a recent case, Avtar Singh Khanda, the primary handler of Amritpal Singh, a Khalistani separatist, also passed away. However, the exact reason for this death is yet to be known. Some sources alleged he died of food poisoning. His medical report suggested he was suffering from food poisoning.
