New Delhi: A Sikh soldier in the British Army in the investigation of the Khalistan Zindabad Force (KZF) module is suspected linked to Ranjit Singh Neeta by the Punjab Police. The soldier is suspected of being behind the recent grenade attacks on police stations in Punjab. It is important to note that the soldier had earlier served in Afghanistan. Following the killing of three KZF module members in Pilibhit, Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav identified the British Army soldier as Jagjit Singh, also known as Fateh Singh ‘Baagi,’ in a post on X.
The investigations have revealed that Jagjit Singh comes from an Indian Army family and has roots in Punjab’s Tarn Taran district. Many of his relatives, including his grandfather, father, and brother, have served in the Indian Army.
Jagjit Singh Served in the British Army
A senior official told The Indian Express, “We are clear that Jagjit Singh was, at some point, serving in the British Army. However, it remains to be confirmed by British authorities whether he is still in service. Typically, we don’t receive positive responses to such inquiries from foreign agencies, as they often deny the involvement of any citizen working for their government agency.”
Jagjit went to the UK on a student visa 10 years ago
In a post, DGP Yadav has described Jagjit Singh as a UK resident serving in the British Army. Sources revealed that Jagjit Singh moved to the UK around 10 years ago on a student visa. He completed a degree in software engineering there. Subsequently, he joined the British Army as a soldier.
A police official stated, “As per our information, he completed his basic training and was inducted into the 4th Battalion of the infantry regiment, The Rifles, in the British Army. He was soon deployed to Afghanistan, where he served alongside his battalion.”
