Punjab HC Allows Daljit Singh's Cremation at Native Village, Bars Political Participation
The Punjab and Haryana High Court modified its earlier order to allow the cremation of Daljit Singh, who died in Mansa district, at his native village Bhamme Kalan on November 5. The court mandated that the cremation be conducted only in the presence of immediate family members and barred political participation. A fresh post-mortem was conducted at PGIMER, Chandigarh, following allegations of drug overdose and assault. Police have registered a murder case, and security arrangements were ordered for the cremation.
