Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited Gurdaspur in Punjab to meet the family of slain anti-drug activist Vikramjit Singh, who was hacked to death after speaking out against the sale and transportation of illegal narcotics. This visit is part of a broader outreach program in which the Union Home Minister is scheduled to meet multiple families impacted by drug-related violence across Gurdaspur, Sangrur, and Mansa.
During the interaction, members of Vikramjit Singh's family called for justice and requested a formal investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation, emphasizing their shared goal of a drug-free Punjab. Relatives noted that the Union Home Minister assured them of a thorough probe and reiterated a firm commitment to dismantling illegal drug networks and bringing those responsible to justice.
The high-profile visit unfolds against the backdrop of mounting political friction in the state. Opposition parties have increasingly targeted the Aam Aadmi Party administration over the killings of prominent anti-drug campaigners, including Parwinder Singh Jota in Mansa.
