Following the arrest of the primary suspect in the Parvinder Jhotta murder, investigators have also secured the firearm used in the attack. Ballistic analysis is underway to confirm its link to the crime scene in Mansa, Punjab.
Detectives are probing deeper into the circumstances that led to the shooting, including a reported dispute between Jhotta and a medical store owner over alleged illegal drug sales. While social media footage shows Jhotta confronting the store manager, authorities caution that the exact trigger for the violence will only be clarified after thorough interrogation and forensic review.
