Who is Narayan Singh Chaura? Who fired the shot at Sukhbir Badal? Narayan Singh Chaura, associated with the Akal Federation, studied at the Sikh Missionary College in Amritsar and holds a Master’s degree in Political Science. He has authored several books, including his recently released work Khalistan Virudh Sajish. Chaura is also known for translating the speeches of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. He has a long history of involvement in militancy and Khalistani activities. Born on April 4, 1956, in the village of Chaura near Dera Baba Nanak (Gurdaspur), he is allegedly linked to organizations such as the Khalistan Liberation Force and the Akal Federation. Chaura is accused of aiding the masterminds of the Burail jailbreak case by providing clothes and other supplies to the prisoners. He maintained close ties with key militants, including Jagtar Singh Hawara, Parmjit Singh Bheora, and Jagtar Singh Tara—accused in the assassination of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh—and visited them in jail. Narayan Singh Chaura reportedly crossed into Pakistan in 1984 during the initial phase of militancy in Punjab. While in Pakistan, he is said to have been involved in smuggling weapons and explosives into India. He was arrested on February 28, 2013, in Jalalabad village, Tarn Taran, while his accomplices, Sukhdev Singh and Gurinder Singh, were apprehended from Pandoori village.
