LONDON – No one so far has been charged in the attack on former Indian Lt Gen KS Brar (retd), who is accused of ordering the killing of thousands of innocent Sikhs during the Indian army’s attack on the Golden Temple.
Barring three men, the Scotland Yard released on bail the remaining nine persons, including two women, arrested in connection with the attack on Brar.
The New Scotland Yard in a statement said, “Three men remain in custody. The remaining nine are now bailed to return in November pending further inquiries”.
Three others arrested on suspicion of immigration law violations, unconnected with the probe into the attempted murder, were referred to the UK Border Agency, the statement said.
Brar was allegedly stabbed in an attack by four unidentified men in Old Quebec Street, near Oxford Street, on Sunday. Following the attack, he was taken to hospital with a neck wound and has since been discharged.
Brar, who had led ‘Operation Bluestar’ in 1984 to flush out pro-Khalistan militants from Golden Temple, was on a private visit when attacked by four men, suspected to be Khalistan sympathisers. He suffered a wound on his neck and cheek. The attackers were described as being of Asian appearance, all with long beards, and were wearing dark clothing.
