NEW DELHI — Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) chief Paramjit Singh Panjwar alias Malik Sardar Singh was shot dead on Saturday by two unidentified shooters in Johar Town of Lahore in Pakistan, according to intelligence sources.
According to Hindustan Times report, he was killed while walking near his house in Sunflower Society in Johar Town at around 6 am along with his gunman by two unidentified men on a motorcycle.
Panjwar was reportedly high on India’s most wanted list.
He was involved in drug and weapon smuggling through drones into Indian Punjab and joined the KCF, which is listed as a terrorist organisation under the UAPA after being radicalised by his cousin Labh Singh in 1986 and before that he worked in a Central Cooperative Bank in Sohal.
After Labh Singh was eliminated by Indian security forces in the 1990s, Panjwar took over KCF and fled to Pakistan, according to reports.
Further details are awaited.
