Avtar Singh Khanda
Avtar Singh Khanda, the primary perpetrator of the violence that occurred on March 19 at the Indian High Commission in London, appears to have a double life in Britain. There is evidence to suggest that the political asylum seeker in the UK known as Avtar Singh Khanda, or Azaad, is in fact Ranjodh Singh, the self-described chief of the designated terrorist organization Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF). Kulwant Singh Khukrana, Khanda’s father, was also a KLF terrorist who was killed by security forces in 1991.
FIR by Delhi Police
According to the Delhi Police FIR on the same incident, Khanda, who led the March 19 protests, was involved in the extremists’ pulling down of the Indian National Flag at the High Commission, with the UK security establishment and police looking the other way.
Indian High Commission writes to UK security agencies
It now appears that the Indian High Commission wrote to the UK security agencies about the protest, and the MI-5 was personally informed about the anticipated violence well before March 19. However, the establishment in the UK ignored the protest as a whole and the subsequent violence by radical Sikhs. As a result, the Home Ministry in India retaliated by removing barricades from outside the UK High Commission in New Delhi.
According to inputs from London and New Delhi, the same Khanda who issues KLF press notes blaming the Indian government for atrocities committed against the Sikh community worldwide operates under the pseudonym Ranjodh Singh. The Hindustan Times’ consideration was attracted to a press note given on November 20, 2022, guaranteeing that “the significant level gathering of the KLF’s top of the food chain was held in a mysterious area. During the gathering, the KLF Central leadership selected Bhai Ranjodh Singh as the new Jathedar of KLF.”

According to the note, Ranjodh Singh was determined to follow in the footsteps of Shaheed Jathedar Harmeet Singh, aka Happy Ph.D., and many other Khalistan resistance martyrs and had served in the Sikh armed struggle with them. In a local drug war in Lahore in January 2020, Harmeet Singh Happy was poisoned to death. He was the pawn of Pakistani intelligence in inciting violence and drug trafficking in Indian Punjab.
