UK-based Khalistan Liberation Force chief on life support in London, poisoning suspected
London,June 15 : Avtar Singh Khanda, UK-based chief of the Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF) and the main handler of Khalistani separatist Amritpal Singh, is on life support at a hospital in London.
Khanda, who had helped Amritpal Singh evade cops for 37 days, is suspected of being poisoned.
Avtar Singh Khanda is the son of slain KLF terrorist Kulwant Singh. He went to the UK in 2007 on a study visa before he took asylum there in 2012.
Khanda was purportedly heading the KLF outfit under the code name ‘Ranjodh Singh’ after the killing of erstwhile KLF chief Harmeet Singh in Pakistan in January 2020.

He is believed to have played a key role in establishing Amritpal Singh as WPD chief after the death of Deep Sidhu.
He was also present near the Indian High Commission when the Indian flag was taken down in London.
Khalistani separatist Amritpal Singh, who was on the run, surrendered before Moga Police in Punjab in April this year.
He was shifted to Assam’s Dibrugarh jail, where eight of his aides, including Papalpreet Singh, are already being held under the National Security Act.
