JALANDHAR: The application for a green card by proclaimed offender Jaskaran Singh Kalsi alias Jassa landed him in the net of the Australian police in March this year and finally in the net of the Jalandhar police commissionerate after 29 months of the murderous attack on Burundi national Yannick Nihangaza.

In the preliminary investigation by officers of the city police, it has come to the fore that Jassa had married an Australian doctor this year and had applied for a green card for which he had sent his documents to authorities concerned in the Australian government.

A police officer claimed that when the branch concerned of marriage registration in Australia checked records, Jassa’s name was found in the list sent by the Indian government for extradition under the Extradition Act.

He said Jassa had gone to Australia on a student visa the day after the incident and joined a business management course in a college. He also started working as a part-time truck driver.

Jassa was arrested in New South Wales by Australian police officer Andrews Aaron Charles in May this year and an Australian court had denied him bail. On March 18, an Australian Capital Territory magistrate had issued arrest warrants against him on behalf of India.

The officer added that Jassa had also gone to Australia four years ago, before the incident on April 21, 2012.

Claiming to be innocent, Jassa apparently told the police that when he reached the spot, the brawl between his friends and Yannick, along with another African citizen, was almost over and he was only sitting in his car. Jassa said he was afraid and thus flew to Australia the next morning on a student visa.
