Supreme Court advocate Vineet Jindal files complaint after getting death threat from Khalistan backer

New Delhi, Dec 14: Supreme Court lawyer, Vineet Jindal has filed a police complaint after he received death threats Twitter from a pro-Khalistan organisation.

After receiving the death threat, Jindal filed a complaint with the Adarsh Nagar Police Station in Delhi. In his complaint he said that a Twitter account @/sooraj_sb00 sent him photographs of bombs. When he checked the profile on the social media platform, he learnt that the account belonged to an active Khalistani supporters and he was involved in anti-India activities in Canada.

Jindal added that he has been receiving continuous threats from supporters of Khalistani organisations, including the Babbar Khalsa, Sikhs for Justice and also from Islamic terrorists. Jindal also said before receiving the latest threat on Twitter, he had reported a Twitter belonging to designated terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the head of the banned Sikhs for Justice.

The SJF which is banned in India operates freely from abroad and is responsible for the Referendum 2020 where Khalistani supporters vote for a separate Sikh nation called Khalistan. The account was suspended by Twitter after Jindal reported the account.

The Sikhs for Justice has become a nuisance for the Indian security agencies and has claimed responsibility for raising Khalistan flags on government buildings, putting up pro-Khalistan slogans outside walls of Temples and government offices and also spreading misinformation to stoke emotions among the Sikh people.

It is not just the Khalistan terrorists who have issued a death threat to Jindal.

That slogans against Brahmin and Vaishya communities have been written on the walls of the School of International Studies-II building on the university campus," Jindal's complaint read.
