The court also dismissed another plea for preserving Bhullar’s body at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Thursday dismissed a petition filed by slain gangster Jaipal Singh Bhullar’s father seeking directions to the State of Punjab to conduct a second autopsy of his son’s body either at PGIMER in Chandigarh or AIIMS, Delhi. The court also dismissed another plea for preserving Bhullar’s body at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER). Bhullar and another gangster Jaspreet Singh, involved in killing two policemen recently in Ludhiana, were gunned down by a Kolkata police team in a shootout in the city on June 9 after receiving “pin-pointed” information from their Punjab counterparts. Bhullar’s family hasn’t yet conducted his last rites.More Related News
