After spending three years in jail, additional Sessions Judge A.S. Grewal acquitted him of all charges. He was falsely booked for raping the girl and and sent to the Jail in August 2004.

Last week, none other than the rape victim girl had deposed before the judge. She said she had named Mithu as the rapist at the behest of two Kaunke Kalan village-based uncles of the NRI girl.

She said, “I named Mithu under the pressure of the influential uncles of Jassi. I don’t know on what statement the police got my signatures. Later, when we learnt that innocent Mithu had been booked and arrested, they threatened that we would meet the same fate as Jassi.”

Her sister who was witness for the rape complainant, also refused to go against innocent Mithu.

Bikram Jit Singh Sidhu, Mithu's lawyer said, "Today was a red letter day for justice. But who would return over three years of his life wasted in the jail when he was already emotionally distressed at the murder of his NRI wife.”

According to local media, Mithu said:

  • I had been fighting to live with my love (Jassi) first, then I fought death to survive the attack. No one has paid as heavily for love as I have. I have fought the police, the false cases, but finally the law of the land has come to my aid. My struggle would, however, only end when parents of Jassi are extradited to India and pay for the crime.
  • What crime had I committed for loving Jassi. I married her and took her to my small house. I never married her for her social status or money. Her relatives punished us, ‘as it was the biggest crime in the world. I want to ask those helping them, including the contract killers, the cops and many others as to why they helped her relatives in their crime against love
  • Parents and relatives of Jassi managed to throw him in jail after they failed to eliminate him or buy him. As I was pressing hard for punishment to the killers and extradition of parents of Jassi, they tried their best to buy me. I was offered over a crore of rupees to stop pursuing the matter. But nothing could buy my love for Jassi. It is now the prerogative of Mithu to file a petition before the court seeking action against those, including relatives of Jassi and police officials , who falsely implicated him.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 


NRI Jassi was a young beautiful lady that fell in love with a young handsome man in India. Their downfall was that he was poor.They were in love. That's all that matters

  • Jassi Kaur Sidhu was shy, modest and stunningly beautiful. She came to the Punjab with her wealthy Canadian family looking for a little adventure.
  • During a visit to the village where her parents were born she met and fell in love with the man of her dreams, Mittoo Singh Sidhu. But, Mittoo had no money and no land. His only income came from driving an auto rickshaw.

Jassi's uncle Surjit told officials that Jassi was forced to marry Mittoo at gunpoint and had him investigated for kidnapping.

According to Indian police Jassi's mother gave the killers instructions to kill her.

Darshan Singh insisted that he had nothing to do with Jassi's death
