Association With Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale
Influenced by Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, Labh Singh left the Punjab police in the early 1980s, and joined the Sikh militant movement.
In May 1984, Labh Singh, Gursewak Singh Babla, Gurinder Singh and Swaranjit Singh were accused of killing Hind Samachar newspaper group editor Ramesh Chander, who was an outspoken critic of Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and had written that Punjab had "become a slaughterhouse." In a call to an Amritsar news agency, responsibility for the attack in Jullundur by four armed men was claimed by Sikh militant group Deshmesh Regiment. The caller was quoted as saying “Whoever speaks or writes against Saint Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale will be answered with bullets.”
During Operation Blue Star, he fought against the Indian Army with other Sikh militants. He was arrested by the army after the operation.
