Obituary: KPS Gill, a towering and controversial figure who crushed Punjab militancy with an iron fist Kanwar Pal Singh Gill will be best remembered in India’s post-Independent history as the ‘supercop’ who successfully eliminated militancy in Punjab with an iron fist and saved the state from becoming a ‘Khalistan’. File image of KPS Gill. Image courtesy: News18 Gill, an 1958-batch IPS officer from Assam and Meghalaya cadre passed away on Friday. He was 82 years old. Police and Border Security Force (BSF) officials who had the opportunity to work closely with Gill in Punjab in the 1980s describe him as a ‘towering personality’ and an ‘iron man’. WATCH: Pro-Khalistan slogans raised at Golden Temple on 39th anniversary of Operation Bluestar Celebrating Indira Gandhi’s assassination: Canada has completely lost the plot on Khalistan issue Unconventional style of functioning Gill, who earned the sobriquet of ‘supercop’, was known for his unconventional functioning style, which also made him ‘unpopular’ and a ‘controversial figure’ among influential sections in Assam and Punjab. While many consider him a hero who eliminated militancy from Punjab, allegations were made that Gill and his men, in the name of stamping out terrorism, violated human rights. “But Gill's unconventional style is what was needed," says former BSF director general Prakash Singh. When Gill was Director General of Police, Punjab, Singh was tasked with securing the state's borders as Inspector General, Border...

Lahore, with a long history of communal harmony and accommodation, escaped the brunt of this cycle of bloodshed; but the poison seed had been sown. As the uncertainty, initially, of the political terms of Independence, and subsequently of the territorial award to the two new entities, sharpened, daily demonstrations in the city by political formations, drawn one against the other on communal lines, raised tensions to a pitch. Low grade violence was a quotidian event, though it was yet to spill over into a mass conflagration. In February 1947, however, all this was far away from the tranquil milieu of Model Town, a fresh, sprawling, ‘garden city’ developed across nearly 2,000 acres some ten kilometres south of the old city, in the early 1940s. This was a genteel, upper class suburb, populated by the educated elite – judges, bureaucrats, professors, politicians, engineers – and the wealthy of Lahore. In one of the colonnaded bungalows, surrounded by rambling lawns and gardens, lived Rachpal Singh Gill, an alumnus of King’s College, London, a civil engineer in the Irrigation Branch, who would go on to distinguish himself as one of Independent India’s great Dam builders, working on key projects including the Bhakra Nangal Hydro Power Complex. His twelve-year old son, Kanwar Pal Singh Gill was home, on his long winter vacation from boarding school at St. Vincent School, Mussoorie. At this blissful age in the quiet, plush, but rather isolated environment of Model T...

The killing of a Rajasthani bank manager and a Bihari brick kiln worker in Kulgam and Budgam in Jammu & Kashmir has generated more panic among Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley and non-Muslims from outside Kashmir who are working there. Most of them now want to leave the valley for safer places, even though the state government is unwilling to let this version of “ethnic cleansing” succeed by relocating them. The government is caught in a bind, because relocating them means admitting the Valley is not safe for non-Muslims; but keeping them there means making airtight security arrangements for thousands of people – a near impossible task. No solution is ideal, and the one offered by DS Hooda, a former chief of the Army’s Northern Command is even less likely to succeed. Hooda says in a Times of India But his other suggestions involve more of the same: building the “trust” of Muslim locals in the security forces by making them “feel safe” even while terrorists are being eliminated; adopting a “genuine outreach” to civil society, particularly the youth, since the promise of economic development is not enough to overcome historical grievances and perceived wrongs (oh, really?); and co-opting local politicians in the fight against fear spread through local terrorism (God help us). How is this any different from what this government and previous governments have been doing? Lt Gen Hooda actually has no new ideas, and his “more of the same” approach is doomed to fail. The only thing ...

New Delhi: Few know that former Punjab police chief Kanwar Pal Singh Gill was a personality who contributed massively to “intellectual literature on terrorism”, said Ajay Sahni, executive director at the Institute for Conflict Management, at the launch of the book The Fragility of Order: Essays in Honour of KPS Gill. Gill, who had been the director general of police in Punjab twice, was widely credited for breaking the backbone of Khalistani terrorism in the state. “KPS Gill once said that no commander can ever give a free hand to armed troops…if he does you will have anarchy,” recalled Sahni at the event which was held at the India International Centre in New Delhi Friday. Other speakers at the launch were Shekhar Gupta, editor-in-chief of ThePrint; Hartosh Singh Bal, political editor at The Caravan; and Satish Jacob, author and journalist. Sahni is the editor of the book which is a compilation of 18 essays on the emerging challenges of security in an “increasingly uncertain global context”. It includes subjects ranging from terrorism, security, counter insurgency and radicalisation — issues that Gill dealt with, not just during his career but also after he retired. Also read: ‘Gill prevented a Kashmiri Pandit-like exodus’ Discussions during the launch ranged from police brutality, insurgencies to strategies of counter-terrorism as well as protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), 2019. In the light of the recent anti-CAA agitations across the country,...

In 1992, the Indian government, "intent on retaking Punjab from terrorism", appointed Gill as Chief of Police in Punjab. The police and army instituted a crackdown, and in 1993 the reported death toll was less than 500. In 1993, India Today on 15 October 1992 it was written that "the rush of claiming cash rewards is turning police into mercenaries. Besides the rewards for killing militants (annual outlay for the purpose: ₹1.13 crore [$338,000]), the department gives 'unannounced rewards' for killing unlisted militants". Under Gill the scope of tracking down and arresting militants went beyond Punjab to other parts of India. "There were several reports during 1993 that Punjab police "hit teams" were pursuing alleged Sikh militants in other parts of India. On 17 May, one such team raided an apartment in Calcutta looking for alleged militant Lakshmi Singh. According to neighbours, Punjab police commandos broke into the apartmen...

I first met Kanwar Pal Singh Gill, the strapping Sikh police officer, as a young reporter, when I was posted in Punjab in the mid-eighties. The state was seething after army tanks had rolled into Golden Temple and damaged the Akal Takht--the seat of temporal power. Many Sikhs in the police and army tendered their resignations and Gill, an Assam-cadre officer, stepped forward to reclaim the state from terrorists. ‘Super cop’ KPS Gill, often credited with rooting out militancy in Punjab, died in a hospital in New Delhi on Friday. He was 82.(HT File Photo) Gill was a practising Sikh but his uniform was a part of his religion. He led from the front. He often shared his views of the intricate problem--the Jat support to the Khalistan torch-bearers, the polarisation between Sikhs and Hindus (in the 80s, the demography was divided 52:48), the toll violence had taken on security forces and the judiciary. Then, Punjab police officers were singled out and killed. Hindus were forced out of buses and massacred; and judges would take their seats in court only when arrested terrorists were brought in blindfolded. “We have to take the battle straight into the terrorist camp,” he would often tell me. Gill always made time for journalists, even when he was caught in the midst of unsavoury controversies that included him pinching the bottom of a fellow woman bureaucrat. I spent several evenings chatting with him over large mugs of beer. He had great capacity--not just for beer--but for deep...
