Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Thursday confirmed that on the request of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), he has ordered the transfer of leader Ravinder Gosain's murder case to National Investigation Agency (NIA).
Singh took to Twitter saying, "On request of @RSSorg, I've ordered transfer of Gosain murder case to NIA for better coordination between central agencies & Punjab police."
On 17 October, 60-year-old Ravinder Gosain, RSS functionary, was shot dead by two unidentified motorcycle-borne assailants in Ludhiana's Kailash Nagar. The murder took place in the morning while Gosain was returning from a drill at a local RSS shakha.
Soon after that, the Punjab police constituted a three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT) headed by a Deputy Commissioner of Police-rank officer to probe the murder.
Meanwhile, Singh also announced Rs. 5 lakh compensation for the murder RSS leader's family and a government job for one of Gosain's four children. (ANI)

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
