Jhota murder: Father demands Mansa SSP's transfer as CBI raids medical stores

Chandigarh, Oct 24 (UNI) The father of slain anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota on Saturday demanded the immediate transfer of Mansa Senior Superintendent of Police Vaibhav Chaudhary, alleging possible police complicity in his son's murder, even as the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted searches at medical stores in the district.
Twelve days after Jhota was shot dead on October 13, his family continued to refuse permission for a post-mortem examination, insisting that their demands for accountability be addressed first.
Jhota's father, Bhim Singh, questioned the functioning of the district police and demanded the dismissal of DSP Harjinder Singh Gill and City-2 police station SHO Beant Kaur, against whom disciplinary action has reportedly been initiated.
