Khalistan Commando Force chief Paramjit Panjwar gunned down in Lahore
Wanted Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) chief Paramjit Singh Panjwar was shot dead by two unidentified gunmen in Johar Town of Lahore in Pakistan, intelligence sources said on Saturday.
Paramjit Singh Panjwar alias Malik Sardar Singh was shot dead near his house in Sunflower Society in Johar Town at around 6 am on Saturday.
During the shootout, his gunman was hurt.
Paramjit Singh Panjwar, 59, was born in Panjwar village near Taran Taran and was involved in restarting the Sikh insurgency, murder, and drug and weapons smuggling.
He joined the KCF in 1986 after working for a Central Cooperative Bank in Sohal.
Panjwar took over KCF in the 1990s, crossed into Pakistan, and settled in Lahore, while his wife and children moved to Germany.
According to sources, Paramjit was more involved in narcotics than terror-related incidents during the last decade.
According to sources, Panjwar's murder is considered to be linked to an inter-gang rivalry over drugs, as he was actively involved in the transportation of drugs using drones in Punjab.
