The Khalistan Commando Force (KCF) was formed under the leadership of Manbir Singh Chhedu in August 1986 with the support of the Panthak Committee and Damdami Taksal and is currently identified as KCF-Panjwad. Manbir Singh Chhedu was arrested in August 1986.

After this, Sukhdev Singh alias Sukha Sipahi took over as the Chief. Later the command of this terrorist organization was handed over to Paramjit Singh Panjwad who took refuge in Pakistan.

Panjwad strengthened his organization by forging links with Islamist groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed. In Punjab, 57-year-old Paramjit Panjwad is facing cases of sedition, murder, conspiracy, arms smuggling and revival of terrorism. Panjwad is also wanted in the murder of former army chief General AS Vaidya and the country’s biggest bank heist in Ludhiana.
