AMRITSAR: Waris Punjab De chief Amritpal Singh and other Sikh detainees held in Dibrugarh jail, Assam, have made an appeal to the Sikh community to bestow the status of "Quomi Shaheed" (community martyrs) upon Avtar Singh Khanda and Hardeep Singh Nijjar even as the relatives of the detainees have vehemently denied any instances of violence within the Dibrugarh jail and injuries inflicted upon Sikh detainees.
In a four-page letter, Amritpal and other Sikh detainees wrote that the news of the death of Avatar Singh Khanda and Hardeep Singh Nijjar, reached them in jail.
