Police Detain Another Suspect in Killing of RSS Volunteer in Ferozepur

Threat claims and political pressure have intensified over the Ferozepur shooting.

Overview

  • Officials said one more suspect was detained and about 10 people have been rounded up, though police had not formally confirmed an arrest.
  • Investigators are still tracing the remaining suspects and seeking to establish the motive in the November 15 killing of Naveen Arora, 32.
  • CCTV footage showed two assailants; one suspect was identified earlier and his family in Bharat Nagar was questioned, while the second remains unidentified.
  • A group calling itself the Sher-E-Punjab Brigade claimed responsibility and issued threats, and three Shiv Sena leaders reported getting calls warning they were next from a UK-based number.
  • RSS and BJP leaders gave the Punjab government a two-day ultimatum to solve the case by November 21, warning of a dharna in Ferozepur, as opposition parties accused the AAP administration of failing on law and order.
