Movie Satluj by Diljit Dosanjh is a Chilling reminder of Punjab killing fields & an eye‑opener on the tragic, systematic killing of thousands of Punjabi youth in fake encounters during the militancy period. Jaswant Singh Khalra, a bank director in Amritsar, turned human‑rights activist after 1984, when police were given sweeping powers to detain and eliminate “suspects” as alleged militants. He began investigating these fake encounters and quietly collecting records from municipal cremation grounds. In Amritsar alone, he found documentary evidence of 6,107 bodies of young people killed and then secretly cremated by the police. Further research in other districts revealed thousands more such cases. The National Human Rights Commission later published lists of identified bodies cremated by the police in the districts of Amritsar, Majitha, and Tarn Taran between June 1984 and December 1994, and both the Supreme Court of India and the NHRC accepted the authenticity of this data. In its judgment in Prithpal Singh v. State of Punjab, the Supreme Court described Khalra as a human‑rights activist who exposed the abduction, killing, and illegal cremation of unclaimed bodies, noting that the police had been eliminating young persons on the pretext that they were militants and disposing of their bodies without record. Based on his findings, Khalra estimated that more than 25,000 Sikhs may have been illegally killed and cremated by the state. In his last rare speech in 1995 he gives an account of his tragic findings DILJIT DOSANJH Ronnie Screwvala Honey Trehan arjun rampal #punjab95 #satluj ZEE5Official
