The police case registered under Section 307 earlier has now been elevated to Section 302 for murder. However, contrary to the police argument, the affected party claimed that the police did not take any concrete action in the past three months regarding the case. Until the news was written, the police had taken control of the body of the deceased Rupanjot Singh and sent it to the mortuary at the Civil Hospital for post-mortem. Police investigation is ongoing.”
