Kapurthala Court Discharges Three Police Officials in 2023 Dhillon Brothers Suicide Case
A Kapurthala court discharged three police officials, including a former SHO, in the 2023 Dhillon brothers suicide case, ruling that the offence of abetment of suicide was not established. The case involved Manavjit Singh Dhillon and his brother Jashanbir Singh, who drowned in the Beas river after alleged police harassment. DNA tests were inconclusive due to sample deterioration. The defence argued no evidence linked the police to the suicide, and the court accepted this, leading to the officials' discharge.
