Bathinda, July 12
Gurpreet Kaur, sister of Shubhkaran Singh, who died during the farm protest at the Khanauri border on February 21, has been appointed as a constable in the Bathinda police.
After receiving the appointment letter from the Chief Minister, Gurpreet, accompanied by her father, reported at the Bathinda Police Lines to take up her new job. Gurpreet is stationed at the Police Lines to complete her training.
Shubhkaran’s death was initially attributed to police gunfire. However, a committee formed on the high court’s order reported that Shubhkaran’s death was caused by a shotgun.
A protest was slated to be held in front of the DC office in Bathinda on July 12, but before that, the Punjab Government provided Shubhkaran’s family with a financial assistance of Rs 1 crore and a government job for his sister.
Gurpreet, who has completed her Class XII, said: “There cannot be any compensation for the murder of my brother and justice should be provided to him by putting his killers behind the bars.”
