Opposition Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) in Punjab Wednesday urged Governor V P Singh Badnore to recall his order of pardoning four former policemen who are serving life imprisonment in a 1993 fake encounter case.
Party chief Sukhbir Singh Badal said they cannot be "let off" and alleged that the state government had "deliberately concealed" some facts related to the case.
Led by Badal, a delegation from the SAD met the governor here and submitted a memorandum, seeking that he recall his pardon order.
We urged the governor to immediately recall his order, Badal told reporters.
On the recommendations of the DGP and the additional director general of police for jails, and the "facts pointed out by them", the governor had pardoned the life term of the former policemen last month
