RSS leader’s murder: Punjab hands probe to NIA
The case of murder of Ludhiana RSS leader Ravinder Gosain has been handed over to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) by the Punjab Government. Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh issued the orders here on Thursday. Rs 5 lakh compensation for the family and a government job, commensurate with the educational qualifications, for one of the four children of the murder victim has also been announced by the Chief Minister. Gosain had lost his wife to cancer some years ago and is survived by four children. Orders for handing over the case to the NIA were issued by Capt Amarinder Singh on a request by an RSS delegation that met him at his residence today. Sharing the delegation’s concern over the brazen killing of Ravinder Gosain, Capt Amarinder Singh strongly condemned the act, saying there was no place for such violence in the state. Asserting that his government would not tolerate such lawlessness, the Chief Minister said it was taking all measures to prevent such targeted killings. Capt Amarinder Singh assured the delegation that the state police has been working hard to solve the murder case. “No effort would be spared to nab the culprits and bring them to book in any of the targeted killings, which were clearly aimed at destabilising the state and destroying its peace,” the Chief Minister said. -PTC News
