Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has announced setting up a judicial commission headed by a sitting high court judge to probe the killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.
This came after Moosewala’s father Balkaur Singh urged Mann to order a probe by a sitting high court judge into the killing of his son. He also demanded the Punjab government involves the Central Bureau of Investigation and the National Investigation Agency in the inquiry.
Expressing shock over the killing, Mann said, “The Punjab government will request the Chief Justice of Punjab and Haryana high court to get the case enquired into by a sitting judge of Punjab and Haryana high court.”
The state government will extend full cooperation to this panel, including roping in any of the central agencies like the National Investigation Agency, he said.
Mann assured people that his government will leave no stone unturned to bring the perpetrators of this crime to justice.
