Exposed the atrocities on Sikhs during the era of terrorism

Jaswant Singh Khalra was a courageous and dedicated human rights activist. Who raised his voice against the atrocities and human rights violations against Sikhs in Punjab during the 1980s and 1990s. He revealed that during that period thousands of Sikh youth were illegally detained, killed in fake encounters and their bodies were secretly cremated.

Gathered information by visiting the crematoriums

Khalra exposed these disappearances and murders being done by the Punjab Police and administration. He visited the crematoriums of Amritsar at that time and gathered information that more than 6,000 bodies were secretly cremated there. He also shared this information on international forums, which raised questions on India’s human rights record.

He was murdered in 1995

Khalra had to pay the price of fighting for the rights of Sikhs with his life. The family alleges that on 6 September 1995, the police abducted Khalra from his house. After this, he was tortured in police custody and killed.

The police did not even register an FIR in this case. After which, Jaswant’s wife filed a petition in the Supreme Court and the court ordered the CBI to investigate.
