In the state of Punjab, authorities have suspended Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Harjinder Singh Gill and Drug Inspector Naresh in connection with the murder of activist Parvinder Jhota. The activist was killed by a local chemist, an incident that prompted immediate outcry from his family and the community.

The suspension of these two officials follows direct pressure from the victim's family, who demanded accountability from law enforcement and regulatory authorities regarding the circumstances surrounding the murder. While the specific details regarding the failure of duty or the connection between the officials and the perpetrator have not been fully disclosed by the administration, the move is being viewed as a response to the public demand for justice. The investigation into the chemist responsible for the murder remains ongoing, and the state government has signaled that further administrative actions may be taken as the inquiry progresses. The suspensions serve as an interim measure while the department reviews the conduct of the officers involved in the jurisdiction where the crime occurred.
