Minorities Commission Summons Punjab Police Chief Over Custodial Torture Allegations
The National Commission for Minorities has summoned Punjab's police chief for a hearing on October 14 regarding allegations of custodial torture and religious dignity violations against Mohanjit Singh, who was detained during Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's visit to Sheron village. Police reported Singh tested positive for morphine and was released on bond, but Singh disputes this and seeks a hearing. The commission will review submissions from both sides, with no legal representatives allowed during the proceedings.
