The incident took place when Gosain was returning home after attending a morning drill (RSS shakha). Later, the Punjab Government decided to hand over the case to the NIA, the orders for which were issued by the Punjab Chief Minister on the request of a RSS delegation.
The DGP reportedly said that the state police sought assistance from central agencies such as the NIA so that they could work in coordination and explore all possible means to crack such cases.
The killing of the RSS leader was the latest in a series of murderous attacks on right-wing and religious leaders in Punjab. This was the eighth such incident in the state since 2016.
It is reported by the media sources that the DGP was non-committal on the role of ‘Pro-Freedom’ elements in the killings of RSS leaders Jagdish Gagneja and 60-year-old Gosain, and the other religious leaders.
DGP Arora assured Gosain’s family that the police would leave no stone unturned to arrest the culprits at the earliest. However, he did not share details of the police’s probe, saying that it would not be in the interest of the case.
DGP (Intelligence) Dinkar Gupta, Ludhiana Police Commissioner R N Dhoke and BJP Ludhiana president Ravinder Arora were accompanying the Punjab police chief, notes The Tribune (TT).
