Faridkot Court Rejects Closure Plea in Ajmer Singh Fake Encounter Case

A Faridkot court on Wednesday, August 27, 2025, refused to close the prosecution in the alleged fake encounter case of Kabaddi player Ajmer Singh. The court’s decision comes despite several key witnesses turning hostile during the trial.

Six accused are facing murder and conspiracy charges in connection with the incident. The court has framed these charges, indicating a strong suspicion of foul play.

The court’s order mandates further investigation into the circumstances surrounding Ajmer Singh’s death. Additional witness testimonies will be heard to ascertain whether the encounter was genuine or a staged killing.

This crucial ruling keeps alive the hope for justice in a case that has gripped the state. The court’s determination to pursue the truth, even in the face of hostile witnesses, sends a strong message about the importance of accountability for alleged extrajudicial killings. The outcome will have significant implications for similar cases and the fight against police brutality in Punjab.
