Parkash Singh Badal to appear before Kotkapura SIT tomorrow

Chandigarh, June 20

Former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal will appear before a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the Kotkapura police firing case at his Chandigarh residence at 10.30 am on Tuesday.

The SIT had rescheduled the questioning after Badal expressed inability to appear before the panel at a rest house in Mohali on June 16. Citing ill health and his age, besides provisions of law in questioning a witness, Badal asked the SIT to visit his Chandigarh house.

“Still not in good health, Badal, however, is keen to fulfil his legal and constitutional duties as a law abiding citizen of the country,” said Harcharan Bains, principal political adviser to the SAD. — TNS
