A special court in Mohali, Punjab, India, has rejected the bail application of Surmukh Singh, also known as Sammu or Nika Baba, who is accused in the 2021 Ludhiana court complex explosion that killed one person and injured five others. The explosion occurred on December 23, 2021, when an improvised explosive device (IED) detonated in a bathroom near court no. 14. The deceased, Gagandeep Singh, a dismissed Punjab Police head constable, was allegedly carrying the IED. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) claims Singh was in contact with Pakistan-based smugglers and was involved in planning the attack. The court, presided over by Judge Dinesh Kumar Wadhwa, cited substantial evidence, including mobile phone data linking Singh to international operatives, as reasons for denying bail. The defense argued that the case relied on disclosure statements without concrete evidence, but the court emphasized the gravity of the allegations and the risk of witness tampering.
