A day after Sukhwinder Singh alias Sukha Bhau (35) died in Amritsar medical college during treatment on May 23, his friend and accomplice presently lodged in Kapurthala Jail, paid tribute to Bhau on Facebook yesterday.
According to a report in Hindustan Times, Sukhi Bidhipur, was arrested along with Bhau by Jalandhar Police in New Sant Nagar Jalandhar after a 30-minute shootout on July 6, 2015.
Following Bhau’s death, Bidhipur took to Facebook and uploaded Sukha Bhau’s picture with caption “My dearest friend, I will miss you forever. RIP Sukha Bhau.” Ever since he updated his status along with the photo, the post has got over 1,300 likes.
Despite a ban on mobile phones and cameras inside the prison, Bidhipur’s frequent posts and comments on other posts indicates that the prison authorities are not keeping a strict vigil and gangsters lodged inside the Kapurthala jail are having a ‘fun time’. Bidhipur was arrested on charges of attacking the then Kapurthala DSP Vikramjeet Panthey.
Here’re a few posts, Bidhipur made while inside the Kapurthala jail:
