The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has registered a First Information Report (FIR) and dispatched a team to Punjab to investigate the murder of anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota. Jhota was fatally shot inside a medical store located in Punjab's Mansa district while hosting a live broadcast on Facebook.
The federal probe was initiated following demands from the victim's family for a higher-level investigation into the killing. In response to these appeals, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann announced that the case would be transferred to the central agency.
