The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken over the murder investigation of anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota in Punjab. A senior Deputy Inspector General is leading the team that will review the case, having accessed records from the Mansa Police Station. This development follows Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to Punjab, where he assured Jhota's family of a CBI probe shortly after the activist was shot dead by a chemist for confronting him about selling synthetic drugs. Forensic experts and other specialists are also being deployed to assist in the investigation, which includes a post-mortem examination in Chandigarh.
