NEW DELHI, 12 February, 2021 (TON): A charge sheet filed by the NIA (National Investigation Agency) against six SFJ members accused in a case of hoisting Khalistani flag at a government building in Punjab’s Moga.

An NIA spokesperson said that the agency has named Inderjit Singh, Jaspal Singh, Akashdeep Singh, Jagwinder Singh, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, and Harpreet Singh aka Ranjit Singh under several sections of the IPC, the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act and the Prevention of Insult to National Honor Act.

The agency took over the case relating to the hoisting of the Khalistani flag by the SFJ cadres at the Deputy Commissioner Office Complex in Punjab’s Moga on September 5 last year, the official said.

The official said, “Investigation has revealed that accused Inderjit Singh, Jaspal Singh and Akashdeep Singh were radicalized members of SFJ, a proscribed unlawful association, and conspired with Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and Rana Singh of SFJ.”

“In furtherance of the conspiracy, Inderjit Singh, Jaspal Singh, and Akashdeep Singh were involved in hoisting the Khalistani Flag at DC Office Complex, Moga on August 14 last year and also tearing of the Indian National Flag hoisted in premises of DC Office.”

In support of Referendum-2020 for making the separate State of Khalistan, they made a video of the incident and sent it to Pannun and Rana Singh of SFJ to broadcast on various social media platforms like YouTube, US Media International, and SJF Channel to propagate the secessionist agenda of the SFJ, said the official.

It is reported that Pannun and Rana Singh also sent funds through money transfer services to accused Inderjit Singh and Jaspal Singh after commissioning the crime.
