Parvinder Jhota Murder Case: Action Committee Calls Punjab Bandh on October 15
Mansa, October 14, 2026: An action committee formed to seek justice in the Parvinder Jhota murder case has called for a Punjab bandh on October 15, demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the incident. The committee has also demanded that the post-mortem be conducted by a board of doctors from the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), Chandigarh.
Alleging a nexus between drug addicts and the police, the committee claimed that this connection was responsible for the murder. The allegation has not been independently established. The committee has further announced that the Sirsa-Ludhiana main road will remain closed until its demands are met.
The bandh call and road closure announcement are part of the committee’s efforts to press for an independent investigation and seek justice in the case.
