  1. “Waheguru, I have been shot” These were the last words of Shaheed Bhai Jaspal Singh. He did not cry or scream for help. Instead, Bhai Jaspal Singh remained calm and remembered Waheguru during his last breaths. On March 29, 2012, Bhai Jaspal Singh of Gurdaspur was martyred by Punjab Police during a peaceful protest organized to raise awareness of Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana’s execution by the State. Bhai Jaspal Sigh was reciting Gurbani along with the Sikh Sangat, when the Punjab Police opened fire on the congregation. Bhai Jaspal Singh was born in 1994 in a Gursikh family, in the village of Sidhwan Jamita, district Gurdaspur. At the time of his martyrdom, Bhai Jaspal Singh was studying Engineering at the Beant College in Gurdaspur. He was a bright student and had a vast interest in Sikh practices. He took amrit at a young age and remained steadfast towards Sikh values and principles. Since his martyrdom, guilty police officers have not been punished. An investigation report has confirmed that the bullet that killed Bhai Jaspal Singh was fired by the police. Sri Akal Takht Sahib has recognized Bhai Jaspal Singh as a shaheed and his portrait has been installed at the Central Sikh Museum, located just outside the entrace of Sri Darbar Sahib, Amritsar.

  2. Chandigarh – More than a year after young Engineering Student Jaspal Singh, was killed when the police opened fire to disperse peaceful protestors in Gurdaspur, a compensation of Rs 5 lakh has been given to his family. Another sum of Rs 2 lakh has been handed over to injured Ranjit Singh from the Chief Minister’s Fund. This was revealed as a petition filed in public interest on the issue came up for pronouncement this morning. Disposing of the petition filed by NGO Lawyers for Human Rights International, a Division Bench of Acting Chief Justice Ashutosh Mohunta and Justice Harinder Singh Sidhu refused to express opinion on the status report submitted in the matter, which said bullets were fired in the air. The development took place after Navkiran Singh disputed the conclusions made in the status report “that no bullet was fired by targeting anybody and bullets were fired only in the air”. Speaking for the Bench, Justice Sidhu said: “It is not for this court to opine on the merits of the conclusion reached in the status report. It has been settled by the Supreme Court in a large number of cases that once the final report under Section 173 of the CrPC is submitted in a competent court, the matter is to proceed further as per the procedure laid down in the CrPC.” Bhai Jaspal Singh was peacefully protesting against the impending execution of Balwant Singh Rajoana. The Bench asserted: “As per the procedure mandated by the SC, if the court of CJM, Gurdaspur, the competent court where the final report has been submitted, decides not to take cognisance of the offence and drop the proceedings, the concerned court must give notice to the informant and provide him an opportunity to be heard.” Source: http://singhstation.net/2014/11/punjab-govt-releases-rs-5-lakh-compensation-shaheed-bhai-jaspal-singh-family/
