Sikh groups across the world have expressed concern for the wellbeing of Paramjeet Singh following a move to have him extradited to India after his arrest by Interpol in Portugal.
Indian authorities have reportedly requested the Portuguese authorities to grant extradition of Sikh activist Paramjit Singh Pamma in three cases: 2009 murder of Rulda Singh, head of the Rashtriya Sikh Sangat and 2010 bomb blasts in Patiala and Ambala. But according to legal experts India’s claims for extradition of Paramjit Singh Pamma were weak.
In the extradition proceedings of Paramjit Singh Pamma, a judge in Evora, Portugal, asked the Government Of India to produce the evidence of terror related charges against the UK based Sikh separatist by January 04, 2016.
