Punjab High Court Demands Details on Demolition of Zhotta Murder Accused's Property

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has asked the Punjab government to explain the demolition of the house and shop of the accused in the Perveinder Singh Zhotta murder case. The court noted that the demolition was carried out under a certain law, but no details have yet been provided by the government. It requested a full account of the legal basis, dates, and authorities involved in the operation. The case, which led to the death of Perveinder Singh Zhotta, has been under investigation for years, and the demolition was reportedly ordered to prevent tampering with evidence. The Punjab government is expected to respond within a specified time frame, underscoring the need for transparency in law‑enforcement actions.
