Bathinda, Oct. 22 -- Seven days after 42-year-old Mansa anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota was shot dead in broad daylight, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday took over the probe into his murder and registered a fresh FIR. A senior AAP leader claimed that a DSP and a drug inspector were suspended in connection with Jhota's murder. Official word on the suspensions was awaited. A CBI team landed in Mansa hours after Union home minister Amit Shah met Jhota's family and the announcement by chief minister Bhagwant Mann on Tuesday morning that the state would hand over the case to the federal agency, bowing to the family's demand for a central probe. A specialised CBI team, led by a deputy inspector general (DIG), arrived in Mansa around midnight and formally requisitioned all case files, records, and physical seizures from the City-2 police station, where the original murder case was registered on October 14. CBI officials visited the deceased's residence to record statements from the family members. The CBI FIR, on a formal complaint by the deceased's father Bhim Singh, has booked pharmacy owner Ashwani Kumar and other unidentified persons under BNS Sections 103 (1) (murder), 109 (attempt to murder), 61 (2) (criminal conspiracy), 118 (1) (voluntarily causing hurt) and 3 (5) (common intention), along with the relevant provisions of the Arms Act. Experts from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) and CBI officials also visited the crime scene. Jhota's autopsy has not been conducted because the family has not given its consent for it. The family has been demanding that the post-mortem be conducted at the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh, by a panel of medical experts. Jhota's father on Wednesday said that the family and members of the Insaaf Committee had resolved to allow the autopsy only if their demands are met. These include the resignation of chief minister Bhagwant Mann and DGP Gaurav Yadav and punitive action against officials from the police and drug departments. A three-member government-appointed team of senior women bureaucrats met Jhota's family but refused to share the meeting details. Special secretary Apneet Riyait told reporters that the state government has started acting on the 14-point demands raised by the Insaaf Committee. On October 13, Jhota was shot dead inside a medical store in a crowded Mansa marketplace while livestreaming a confrontation on Facebook He was questioning the shop owner, Ashwani, over the alleged illegal sale of prescription drugs to an elderly man. Kumar opened fire with his licensed pistol, killing Jhota....
