"Faith - Law - Custody " understanding the sandeep singh case.




Sandeep Singh, also known as Sunny, was arrested for the killing of Sudhir Suri, a controversial leader of Shiv Sena (Taksali), on November 4, 2022. Many in the Sikh community believe Sandeep acted out of deep emotional and religious pain, as Sudhir Suri had repeatedly insulted Sikhism and spoken disrespectfully about Sikh Gurus. Videos of Suri’s offensive remarks had circulated online, causing widespread anger. For Sandeep, this was not just a crime—it was a reaction to what he saw as a direct attack on his faith.


After his arrest, Sandeep was kept in Patiala Jail. On September 10, 2025, he reportedly attacked three retired police officers inside the jail—two of whom had been convicted for killing Sikh youths in fake encounters. This incident triggered what his family describes as brutal retaliation. From September 10 onward, Sandeep was allegedly beaten severely by jail officials. His brother and legal counsel claimed he was tortured physically and mentally, denied medical care, and kept in isolation. The torture continued for several days, and his condition worsened.


On September 15, 2025, the Patiala District Court ordered a medical examination by a board of doctors at Government Rajindra Hospital. The report was to be submitted by 10:00 AM on September 17. But instead of following the court’s order, jail authorities secretly transferred Sandeep to Sangrur Jail on September 16. This move raised serious concerns. Why would officials avoid a court-ordered medical checkup? Many believe they wanted to hide the signs of torture and avoid legal consequences. Ignoring a court order is not just illegal—it shows how some officials act as if they are above the law, especially when the victim is a Sikh.


This case is not just about one man—it reflects a long history of how Sikhs have been treated in custody. For decades, Sikh prisoners have faced discrimination, unlawful detention, and custodial violence. Many have been held without trial, tortured, or silenced. When Sikhs raise their voices against injustice, they are often labeled as extremists. Religious institutions like the Akal Takht, SGPC, and Damdami Taksal have condemned the torture and demanded justice for Sandeep Singh. Their demand is not just for one man—it is for the dignity of an entire community.


What must be done is clear. A fresh medical examination should be conducted immediately. If torture is confirmed, an FIR must be filed against the jail officials involved. The court’s authority must be respected, and those who ignored its orders should face legal consequences. More importantly, there must be a national conversation about the treatment of Sikh prisoners and the need for reform. Justice should not depend on religion or politics—it must be equal for all.


Sandeep Singh’s pain is a reflection of the pain carried by many Sikhs who have suffered silently. Torture is never acceptable. Ignoring the law is dangerous. And treating Sikhs unfairly only deepens the wounds of history. It is time to speak up, demand justice, and ensure that every citizen—regardless of faith—is treated with dignity and fairness.

Land Pooling in Punjab & Haryana: A Threat to India’s Food Bowl?

  ๐ŸŒพ India’s agricultural backbone—Punjab and Haryana—has long been celebrated for feeding the nation. Together, these two states contribute over **75% of the wheat** and nearly **30% of the rice** procured for the central food distribution system. But a new policy is stirring controversy: the **Land Pooling Policy**, aimed at urban expansion, is being seen by many as a direct threat to the country’s food security.   What Is Land Pooling? Land pooling is a development strategy where landowners voluntarily contribute their land to a government authority. In return, they receive a portion of the developed land—typically residential and commercial plots. The idea is to enable **planned urban growth** without resorting to forced land acquisition. In Punjab, the government plans to pool over **65,000 acres** across 21 cities, starting with Ludhiana. Landowners are promised: - **1,000 sq. yards of residential land** - **200 sq. yards of commercial land** for every acre pooled. And i...
