Amritsar, February 17: Former DIG Kultar Singh, along with five others, including a DSP-rank officer, was held guilty by a local court in a mass suicide case dating back to 2004.

Five members of a family had committed suicide by consuming poison at Choke Moni in the walled city.

Kultar Singh was SSP Amritsar at the time when the family had ended their lives. The family had accused the SSP of extortion and criminal intimidation that made them take the extreme step.

The quantum of sentence will be announced on February 19.
