Parvinder Singh Jhota murder: Main accused arrested in Rajasthan

anti-drug activist Mansa shooting Parvinder Singh Jhota Ashwani Kumar arrest Punjab law and order

Anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota was shot dead in Mansa, Punjab, following a confrontation at a medical store. The incident, which was captured on a Facebook Live stream, occurred while Jhota was questioning the store owner, Ashwani Kumar, regarding the alleged illegal sale of intoxicating medicines and drugs.

Jhota sustained multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the liver, and succumbed to his injuries at Mansa Civil Hospital. One of his companions was also injured during the attack. Following the shooting, the accused fled the scene but was later apprehended by a joint operation involving the Punjab and Rajasthan Police in Salasar, Rajasthan. Authorities also recovered the pistol used in the crime.

The killing has triggered significant political unrest and public outrage in Punjab. The victim's father has called for a CBI investigation and the resignation of the Chief Minister and the DGP. Opposition leaders have criticized the state government's handling of the drug crisis and law and order. In response to the incident, protesters in Mansa vandalized the accused's shop and held demonstrations near the local hospital.
