The court also granted Punjab Police permission to conduct a medical examination on accused Lawrence Bishnoi before he leaves Delhi and before his production before the concerned Court of CJM, Mansa, Punjab.
Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead by assailants in Jawaharke village of Punjab's Mansa district on May 29.
