Nabha jailbreak 'mastermind' Parminder Singh was arrested from Kairana in UP's Shamli district

Muzaffarnagar: Parminder Singh, the alleged "mastermind" of the daring daylight jailbreak in Punjab, has been shifted to a high security prison in the district, jail officials said today.

Singh along with Khalistan Liberation Front terrorist Harminder Mintoo and four other prisoners escaped after armed men in police uniform stormed the high-security Nabha prison at Patiala in Punjab on November 27.

Parminder Singh was arrested from Kairana in Uttar Pradesh's Shamli district the same day, when the getaway vehicle was stopped at a police picket.

Superintendent of district jail Rakesh Singh said the accused, Parminder Singh, was shifted to a high security barrack yesterday.

No inmate is allowed to meet him, he said, adding that security of the jail has been heightened.
