The family, while standing with the farmer leaders in Patiala, also demanded registration of a case against the erring cops. The farmers claimed that Shubkaran was shot in the head instead of legs or arms which was a violation of international rules.
Kisan Mazdur Mukti Morcha leader Sarvan Singh Pandher said, “The Punjab CM has announced to take action and register a FIR, but the officials are claiming that it is not possible.Money is not above ‘justice’. The cremation will be done only after FIR is registered. ”
