Calls for NHRC Probe into Alleged Custodial Torture of Punjab Protester
Allegations of custodial torture against Sikh activist Mohanjit Singh, who protested with a black flag during Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's event, have prompted calls for an independent probe. BJP leaders Tarun Chugh and state BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon, along with Congress leaders Amarinder Singh Raja Warring and Partap Singh Bajwa, have urged the NHRC to investigate. The AAP government termed the incident unfortunate, with police stating they are verifying injuries. Shiromani Akali Dal also demanded action against involved officers.
