New Delhi: The NIA will probe the killing of
an RSS leader in Punjab following a recommendation by the
state government, a home ministry official said.
The ministry has decided to hand over to the National
Investigation Agency (NIA) the investigation into the the
killing of Ravinder Gosai in Ludhiana last month.
The decision has been taken following a recommendation of
the Punjab government, the official said.
Gosai was shot dead by two motorcycle-borne assailants on
October 17. He was the 'Sangh Pracharak' at the RSS Mohan
Shakha in Ludhiana.
Four unidentified assailants also shot dead the leader of
a lesser known Hindu outfit 'Hindu Sangarash Sena' Vipina
Sharma in Amritsar in broad day light on October 30.
Senior Punjab RSS leader Jagdish Gagneja was shot by
unidentified motorcycle-borne youths in a busy area in
Jalandhar on August 6, 2016.
However, so far, the Punjab government has recommended
for an NIA probe only Gosai's killing.
