Punjab Congress president Pargat Singh arrived in Mansa today to join a protest organised by local residents over the Parvinder Singh Jhoota murder case. The gathering, held near the district headquarters, saw participants demanding swift justice and a thorough investigation.
The case has sparked public anger after the killing of Parvinder Singh Jhoota, a resident of the district, and subsequent allegations of police inaction.
