KULBIR SINGH Barapind, a former militant who was extradited from the United States of America in 2006, was released from the maximum-security jail late on Tuesday .
Barapind, of the Khalistan Commando Force (Panjwar), was wanted by Punjab Police in 32 criminal cases but on the direction of a US court was tried in only three cases.
Yesterday, Jalandhar Additional Sessions Judge B.K. Mehta had acquitted him of the murder of four members of a family of Tarkhan Majra village for lack of evidence.
He was earlier acquitted in the murder case of an Akali MLA and two others.
Daljit Singh Bittu, chairman of Panch Pardhani Akali Dal, Harpal Singh Cheema, Surinder Pal Singh Thrua and Paramjit Singh Gazzi of Sikh Students Federation received Barapind after his release.
