Punjab CM Parkash Singh Badal-led Government ordered the release of militant Lal Singh from the Nabha jail in Patiala District on a 45-day parole, a day after ex-CM Caption Amarinder Singh and the family of late Punjab CM Beant Singh endorsed fasting radical Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa's demand for freeing six Sikh prisoners lodged in various jails across the state. Lal Singh arrested under TADA in Gujarat in 1992 and convicted for transportation of weapons from Pakistan to India, was serving a life-imprisonment sentence for 21 years. He was transferred to Nabha Jail in 1997 as he and his family members had their permanent home in Punjab.
