The special investigation team (SIT) probing the Kotkapura police firing case has summoned Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) patron Parkash Singh Badal on June 16. All this and more in this week's news bulletin from Punjab.


The SAD veteran leader was the Punjab chief minister when the police opened fire on protesters in October 2015.

The three-member SIT headed by additional director general of police, LK Yadav, has been tasked to ascertain who gave the orders to open fire, whether the cops fired in self-defence, and followed the standard operating procedure during the firing incident.
