Sacrilege: SIT submits handwriting samples of accused

Faridkot, October 22

The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the sacrilege cases has submitted the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) report of the handwriting samples of Sukhjinder Singh, alias Sunny, who is accused of writing blasphemous posters.

The SIT had collected the samples of handwritings of Sunny in June this year to negate a report of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) of the CBI in which the central agency had given a clean chit to Sunny.

In regard to pasting of blasphemous posters at gurdwaras in Burj Jawahar Singh Wala and Bargari villages in September 2015, the CFSL, in its report dated August 28, 2018, had claimed the authorship of the questioned writings could not be connected with any set of the writers, attributed to Sunny and 11 other accused in the case.

However, claiming the comparison of the handwriting of the accused with the authorship of the posters was not made properly by the CBI, the SIT had approached the court here, seeking to collect the handwriting of Sunny so as to make its comparison with authorship of the posters. Before the investigation in the sacrilege cases was transferred to the SIT in January this year on the orders of Punjab and Haryana HC, it was being investigated by the CBI. — TNS
