Day After Amit Shah's Visit, CBI Takes Over Punjab Activist's Murder Case
A day after Union Home Minister Amit Shah met the family of anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota, a team of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) reached Mansa late Tuesday night and took over the investigation into his murder from the local police.
The agency is expected to begin its investigation on Wednesday, marking a significant development in a case that has triggered political confrontation in Punjab over the drug menace, the safety of those opposing drug trafficking and the state government's handling of law and order.
