Summary:
The KLF chief was also accused of hatching a conspiracy, at the behest of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, to revive terrorism in Punjab. In separate statements issued late on Wednesday, the two organisations demanded that an investigation should be ordered into the KLF chief’s death in the jail. Patiala Central jail superintendent Rajan Kapoor said Mintoo had appeared before a Jalandhar court via a video conference from the jail on Wednesday afternoon and added that he collapsed in the same barrack after complaining of uneasiness. His name had also recently cropped up in the Punjab targeted killings case and he had been booked by the National Investigation Agency. The KLF chief had earlier been arrested in November 2014 by the Punjab police from the Indira Gandhi International Airport on his return from Thailand.Mintoo, according to his lawyer, hailed from Dalli village of Punjab’s Jalandhar district..
