CBI Court Sends Jhota Murder Accused to Judicial Custody in Punjab
A special CBI court sent all four accused in the murder of anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota to judicial custody after completing custodial interrogation. The accused include Ashwani Kumar, his wife Neelam Rani, and alleged accomplices Vipin Garg and Laddi Singh. The CBI took over the investigation following the Punjab government's decision after demands from Jhota's family. The next court hearing is scheduled for November 11, with Punjab Congress seeking the removal of the Mansa SSP over law and order concerns.
