Nobody above law

Nobody is above law and if evidence is found against anyone during the ongoing probe, due action will be initiated against such persons.

Investigations into the three cases pertaining to Bargari and Burj Jawahar Singh Wala were still open, Parmar said. Cautioning against the spread of false and irresponsible information regarding the emotive issue, he urged the media and citizens to exercise due restraint before publishing any unconfirmed report or making any unwarranted allegations against anyone.

Dera Sacha Sauda head was named accused in FIR No. 63 of 2015, Parmar said, adding that in this case too, investigation was underway by the same SIT and nobody had been given a clean chit.
