[edit] A request to DAulakh

Hi Daulakh... I have provided enough evidences with all the text which I have added, If you have any doubts on Amnesty International's Reports or on rest of the references then please talk, but please do not suppress the truth. Please go through the provided references first. I have not deleted any of the information, I have simply added more alongwith references. This is Wikipedia and I beleive that I have the same rights as you. So with due respect, it is my humble request that please do not delete the information which I have added recently. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Singh6 (talk • contribs) 20:39, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thetruth's contribution

I have reverted your changes to a POV version. Please read your talk page. --Vivin Paliath (വിവിന് പാലിയത്) 17:33, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The NPOV version is from a BBC profile. I'm leaving it here until I can work out a version that's not directly from the article.

[edit] KPS Gill's Counter-Terrorism Techniques in Punjab

There were serious charges levelled against him and his police by human rights activists that thousands of suspects were killed in staged shootouts and thousands of bodies were cremated/disposed without proper identification or post-mortem.[1][2] [3] [4] [5]. Police under his commnad used in-human torture techniques to extract information from Sikh Militants and in their killings, Gurdev Singh 'Debu' an area commander of Khalistan Commando Force, was boiled alive by his police[6]. Even Khushwant Singh is said to have gone volte-face after reading the research Reduced to Ashes Book by a human rights group[7] [8] and remarked "It is spine-chilling.... Well, Mr Gill, it is not rubbish; you and the Punjab police have quite a few awkward questions to answer"[7].

Several number of Sikh women - teenage girls, young and old women, were also gangraped and molested by Indian security forces during house to house searches. Looting of the villagers’ property and ransacking of the entire villages also happened during his reign. [9][10]

I have added Amnesty International Report as a reference>[11] (http://www.amnesty.org/en/library/asset/ASA20/002/2003/en/uvSEW2lMY-gJ)

[edit] Accusations of Sexual Misconduct and Human Rights Abuses

Surely there needs to be some discussion on the widely discussed issue of Gill's involvement in human rigts abuses in the Punjab. Note that Amnesty Interbational have labelled him the 'butcher of Punjab' and many sikhs regard him as a traitor.

There also needs to be a dit on Gill's conviction for sexual harrashment.

This whole article is very misleading!!
