Anti-drug activist Parvinder Singh Jhota is shot dead inside a medical store in Punjab’s Mansa while hosting a Facebook Live, prompting calls for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe. Several outlets report that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann announces the case will be handed over to the CBI after the victim’s family demands it.

Coverage also notes that Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to visit Punjab and meet Jhota’s kin ahead of or around the transfer decision. The reports consistently describe Jhota as known for challenging the illegal sale of addictive substances at chemist shops, and they reference the incident date and location. Some outlets add broader political and public reaction, including protests and demands for justice and accountability.

Where outlets differ, some focus more tightly on the transfer announcement and CBI deployment, while others foreground individuals’ reactions—such as Shah’s planned meeting, or public figures and supporters calling for justice and reflecting on Jhota’s anti-drug campaign. One outlet also includes additional context about the accused shop owner’s arrest and further developments around post-mortem and cremation timing.
