Punjab director general of police (DGP) Suresh Arora on Sunday said the National Investigation Agency (NIA) will start its probe into the killing of RSS leader Ravinder Gosain from next week.
The DGP was here to meet family members of the leader, who was shot dead by two unidentified motorcycle-borne assailants in Kailash Nagar on October 17. “Some people hiding in foreign countries are responsible for the killing and this is the reason why the investigation of the case has been transferred to NIA,” the state police chief told reporters.
“It is a very sensitive case and the police have been working on different angles. The people behind the killing want to create law and order trouble in the state. Punjab Police will provide every possible help to the NIA to solve the case as soon as possible,” he added.
