Sikh separatists tried to slash throat of retired Indian general on London street, court hears Four Sikh separatists tried to slash the throat of a retired Indian general on the streets of London in a revenge attack, a court heard today. Three men, along with their female accomplice, were accused of tracking down Kuldip Brar and attacking him in September last year. They, along with a fourth man who has never been arrested, believed retired Lieutenant-General Kuldeep Singh Brar to be responsible for atrocities allegedly committed during the Indian army's crackdown on Sikh separatists in 1984. Mandeep Sandhu, 34, Dilbag Singh, 37, and Harjit Kaur, 39, all deny wounding the 78-year-old General Brar with intent and are standing trial at Southwark Crown Court. Barjinder Sangha, 33, has admitted the same charge.
