Family of murdered ASI Iqbal Singh to receive ₹2 crore compensation

The Punjab administration has approved a two‑crore‑rupee financial package for the relatives of Assistant Sub‑Inspector Iqbal Singh, who was killed in Tarn Taran. Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann disclosed that the state will allocate one crore rupees, and HDFC Bank will supplement the same amount as an insurance claim.

Expressing deep sadness, the chief minister said the loss of the officer has dealt a heavy blow to his family and to the police force at large. He pledged continued support from the government and police department during the mourning phase.

DGPO Gaurav Yadav used the X platform to honor the slain officer, stating that the police department will stand firmly beside his family. He confirmed that the monetary assistance will be transferred promptly and directed investigators to leave no stone unturned in tracking the culprits.

According to police, the two gunmen abandoned their motorcycle after the shooting and escaped in a car whose registration number has been recorded. Investigators are also working to identify the motorcycle’s owner to further the case.

During the final rites, senior police officials laid flowers at the coffin, offered a salute, and the assembled crowd said goodbye with tears.
