Amritsar : Punjab’s dreaded separatist outfit Khalistan Liberation Force militant Davinder Pal Singh Bhullar, a convict in 1993 Delhi bomb blast case, was on Saturday released on 21-day parole after nearly 23 years.

Bhullar was convicted in connection with the killing of nine people and injuring of 31 in a bomb blast in 1993. Among those who survived the attack are former Youth Congress chief M S Bitta.

 Behind the bars following his conviction in the case, Bhullar is undergoing life imprisonment after the Supreme Court commuted his death sentence. He was sentenced to death by a designated TADA court on August 25, 2001.

Bhullar’s wife Navneet Kaur, along with her relatives, received him when he was released from jail custody on Saturday, reports PTI. Bhullar was shifted to Amritsar Central Jail from Delhi’s Tihar Jail in June last year.
