Lakhwinder had prayed that police security be given to him to attend bhog of his mother on May 15. The petitioner had stated that his application for interim bail to attend the last rites of his mother, who died in the PGI recently, was dismissed by the trial court. He has also claimed that the trial court had unnecessarily disallowed his application for interim bail on the ground that he could also escape like the three other killers of suspected Beant Singh.
