Bhagat Singh not named in FIR forSaunders' murder

Over eight decades after his hanging,

Lahore police searched the records of

the Anarkali police station and found

the original FIR

Bhagat Singh’s name was not

mentioned in the FIR for the murder of

a British police officer here in 1928, the

Lahore police have found, in a major

boost to prove the legendary freedom

fighter’s innocence in the case 83

years after his execution.

Imtiaz Rashid Qureshi, chairman of the

Bhagat Singh Memorial Foundation,

had filed a petition seeking an attested

copy of the First Information Report

(FIR) registered against Bhagat Singh,

Sukhdev and Rajguru for allegedly

killing the then SSP John P Saunders.

Bhagat Singh was awarded the death

sentence for killing Saunders and was

hanged at Shadman Chowk in Lahore

in 1931, aged just 23.
