The Punjab and Haryana High Court has summoned the SP Bhatinda to appear in the court on September 25 in the murder case of a dancer who died due to the gun shot fired in marriage.
He has been told to explain how a case under Section 304-A (causing death by negligence) of the IPC, and not under Section 302 (murder) or Section 304 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), was made out in a case where a shot from a .12-bore gun killed the dancer, Kulwinder Kaur, on the spot.
The direction came on a petition filed by accused Lucky Kumar against Punjab. He was seeking regular bail in the FIR dated December 4, 2016, registered at Maur police station.
The incident happened during the marriage function when a sot fired gunshot in the air but the shot hit the dancer and she died on the spot.
