A copy of FIR No. 91 registered against senior Shiromani Akali Dal leader and former MLA Bikram Singh Majithia and his associates has finally been made available following directions from an Amritsar district court.

The court had on Wednesday ordered the police to provide a copy of the FIR within 24 hours, and the document was produced in compliance with that order.

The FIR names five persons as accused, including Majithia, and lists more than 50 others as supporters or unidentified persons.

The complaint alleges that Majithia, accompanied by some named associates and over 50 supporters, suddenly arrived at the police station complex. Police claim that Majithia and his group entered the station premises without legal permission and began searching for the person in custody in smaller groups. Despite attempts by police personnel to stop them, they allegedly entered various rooms and offices within the station, creating a tense atmosphere and disrupting routine police work.

The FIR further alleges that while searching for the detainee, the group reached the room where Jobanpreet Singh was being questioned. At that point, one of the accompanying persons allegedly pulled out a pistol and brandished it in an attempt to intimidate police personnel and exert pressure on them.

The report also states that a case file lying on a table was taken and some of its documents were torn. Police have alleged that attempts were made to free the person in custody, thereby interfering with the investigation.
