Gurbachan and Inderjit survived with medical attention. However, Suba Singh’s condition worsened, and despite surgery and ventilator support, he succumbed to his injuries. Suba Singh and his co-accused had been sentenced to life imprisonment in August for a 1993 fake encounter in which seven people died. Authorities are now adding murder charges against Sunny.

SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami raised concerns over Sunny’s treatment. He alleged that jail authorities subjected Sunny to custodial violence and denied him family access. Dhami also accused officials of ignoring a court order for a medical examination before transferring Sunny to Sangrur Jail. This controversy highlights ongoing issues regarding inmate safety and custodial practices in Punjab’s prisons.

According to reports, Sunny used a pipe to assault the officers in the high-security barrack verandah. Authorities noted that all of them were kept separately due to threats from other inmates. Punjab IG (Prisons) Roop Kumar Arora has ordered a detailed probe into the matter, assuring strict action against the accused.

Notably, Sunny had earlier been shifted to the high-security barrack after receiving threats from inmates. He had shot Shiv Sena leader Sudhir Suri outside Gopal Mandir, Amritsar, in November 2022. Police have now registered a case under Section 109 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at Tripuri police station. Patiala SSP Varun Sharma stated that Sunny would be remanded to uncover the motive behind the assault.

The victims themselves carry criminal histories. Inderjit Singh was arrested in 2017 in a major drug and arms case and later booked by the Enforcement Directorate under PMLA in 2024. Subba Singh was convicted in a 1993 fake encounter case, while Gurbachan Singh was sentenced to life imprisonment for a 1992 fake encounter.
