Khalistani terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannu dies in a road accident in the USA: Sources
He was hiding since 3 Khalistani terrorists – Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Avatar Singh Khanda & Paramjit Singh Panjwar – die in the last 60 days.
According to Dainik Bhaskar, Pannu met with a fatal car accident on US Highway 101. However, the report has not been officially confirmed from any side. Pannu was reportedly underground for quite some time now.
Bhaskar reported that to hide his location, he had also switched off his mobile phone. After the suspicious death of Khalistani terrorists Paramjit Singh Panjwar in Pakistan, Avtar Singh Khanda in London, and Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, Pannu feared for his life and was in hiding.
Recently, after the killing of Khalistan terrorists, Pannu released a video blaming the officials of the Indian Embassy in Canada and America. That was his last threatening video.

These rumours are finding traction and gaining support from the fact that several other Khalistani terrorists have died in the recent past, particularly in the last six months.

He tweeted, “Regarding the news about the alleged car accident in my neighborhood in California and the death of SFJ Gurpatwant Singh Pannu, I would like to emphasize that the information is FAKE & FALSE.

Another person named Abhinandan Mishra also said that Pannun is alive, claiming that his contact numbers are busy, and not switched off as claimed.
Will be surprised if Gurpatwant singh Pannun is not alive. His contact numbers are busy, unlike reports in media, he was very much active for the past few days. I had spoken to him recently twice. So better not to fall for Twitter gossips.

Abhinandan Mishra further denied the reports of Pannun going underground, claiming that Gurpatwant Mann Singh Pannu was very active in the last few days, and that he spoke to the SFJ founder twice in recent times. “So better not to fall for Twitter gossips,” he added.

On the 18th of June, Khalistani Terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot dead in Surrey by two unidentified assailants. He was a wanted terrorist by the Indian Government.
In November 2014, an arrest warrant was issued through Interpol’s National Central Bureau in New Delhi, in which Nijjar was described as a mastermind/active member of the Khalistani terrorist organisation Khalistan Tiger Force. He was accused of having involvement in the 2997 Srinagar Cinema bombing in Punjab in 2007. Another notice was issued by Interpol against him in 2016 in which he was accused of being a mastermind and key conspirator of several terrorist activities in India.
Previously, on the 15th of June 2023, Khalistani terrorist and chief of the banned Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) Avtar Singh Khanda died in a London hospital. Security agencies have stated that he was the main handler of Khalistani separatist Amritpal Singh who is currently under arrest.
Further, he was the mastermind behind the attack on Indian High Commission in London where he pulled down the Indian national flag and attempted to hoist the Khalistan flag. He was later arrested after the March 19 incident.
Medical reports show that he was suffering from blood cancer. Khalistani sympathisers have claimed that he was poisoned and initial reports also indicated poisoning as the cause of the death. However, the medical reports do not mention anything regarding it.
A month earlier, on the 6th of May, Khalistani terrorist Paramjit Singh Panjwar was gunned down by two unidentified men in Johar town in Lahore city of Pakistan. As per reports, he was a wanted terrorist and the leader of the banned Khalistan Commando Force (KCF). He was also known by his alias Malik Sardar Singh.
Further, he was reportedly involved in illegal arms training for terrorists in Pakistan and helping them infiltrate India to target economic installations and VIPs. He had also been at the helm of the drug trade, circulating fake Indian currency notes and inciting minorities against the Government of India.
Reports add that the Khalistani Commando Force (KCF) headed by Panjwar was eyeing to reactivate sleeper cells and form a nexus of ex-terrorists with other anti-India elements.
