An important hearing will be held in the Punjab and Haryana High Court today (Thursday) in the case of interrogation of gangster Lawrence in the custody of Punjab Police. During this, a list of names of senior police officers will be submitted to the court by the Punjab government for the head of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) investigating the case.
This officer will be of ADGP or DGP level. Because Prabodh Kumar, the head of the SIT constituted by the High Court, is retiring this month. That is why names have been sought by the court.
SIT had lifted the curtain from the interview
SIT has an important role in the investigation of the case. Because when this matter came to light, it was claimed that the interview was not held in any jail in Punjab. After this, as soon as the SIT intensified the investigation, it was found that one interview was held in CIA Kharar building and the other in Rajasthan.
Here the SHO’s room was made into a studio. All arrangements including WiFi were made for the interview. After this, the court suspended six people including the DSP.
However, the DSP had declared himself innocent. He had called himself a scapegoat. The gangster is now lodged in a Gujarat jail. While the Faridkot district court has acquitted him in not one but three old extortion cases.
Took responsibility for Moosewala’s murder in the first interview
Lawrence’s first interview was broadcast on March 14. In which Lawrence confessed to getting Sidhu Moosewala killed. Lawrence said that Moosewala was getting involved in gang wars instead of singing. Moosewala was also involved in the murder of his college friend Akali leader Vicky Middukhera. That’s why he got him killed. According to the SIT report, this is the same interview that he gave from CIA custody.
Proof of making calls from the barracks in the second interview
Lawrence also gave proof of conducting the interview from inside the jail in his second interview. He also showed his barrack and told that he is not allowed to go out, but he gets mobile and signal too. Lawrence said in his interview that the jail guards rarely come and go at night, that is why he is calling at night.
Lawrence also gave information about mobiles getting inside. According to Lawrence, mobiles are thrown inside the jail from outside. Sometimes the jail staff catches them, but most of the times the mobiles reach him.
