Slain gangster’s family members move Punjab and Haryana HC for 2nd postmortem

FEROZEPUR: The family members of gangster Jaipal Bhullar, who was killed in a joint operation by Punjab and West Bengal police forces in Kolkota on June 9, have moved the Punjab and Haryana high court, seeking second postmortem of the deceased. They have alleged that Jaipal was physically tortured by police before being shot.
The slain gangster’s parents have refused to perform his last rites. Jaipal was to be cremated on Sunday noon, but his family members noticed multiple fractures and scars on his body while preparing for his last rites and approached the local administration to demand another autopsy.
However, the district administration refused to entertain the demand, citing provisions under prevailing laws.
The family has kept the body in a freezer at their house.
