The autopsy report of 19-year-old Ranjit Singh, killed in an alleged encounter in Gurdaspur, confirmed firearm injuries as the cause of death with no signs of torture. Conducted by a medical team on March 3, the post-mortem was observed by a judicial magistrate. While police claim Ranjit escaped after a vehicle accident and fired at officers, his family disputes this, alleging custodial killing and planning legal review of autopsy footage. The court has also sought CCTV footage from the encounter site.
