Gurdaspur Court Orders Police to Produce CCTV and Logbooks in Ranjit Singh Encounter Inquiry
A Gurdaspur court has ordered Punjab Police to produce CCTV footage and vehicle logbooks as part of a judicial inquiry into the February 25, 2026, killing of 19-year-old Ranjit Singh, accused of killing two police personnel near the Pakistan border. The court partially granted a plea by Ranjit's mother seeking records from multiple police stations to verify the police's claim of a retaliatory encounter. Police opposed full disclosure citing confidentiality and ongoing investigations, while the court emphasized the evidence's relevance to determining the truth.
