Chandigarh, Sep 1 (UNI) Punjab Director General of Police (DGP) Dinkar Gupta has set up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the attack on relatives of cricketer Suresh Raina on the orders of Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh, who is personally monitoring the case.
Ashok Kumar, the cricketer’s uncle, died on the spot while his son Kaushal succumbed to his injuries on Monday. Three other family members were injured, including Ashok Kumar’s wife, Asha Rani, who is reported to be in critical condition.
Though initial investigations suggest that the attack had the signature of criminals belonging to a de-notified criminal tribe, who are often seen to operate along the Punjab-Himachal border, the SIT has been mandated to examine all possible angles, according to Gupta. Specialised teams from Organised Crime Control Unit have also been roped in to carry out a 24X7 probe into the case.
