Patiala: The post-mortem of Punjab's 22-year-old farmer Shubhkaran Singh, who lost his life on the Khanuri border on February 21 during the farmers' protest, could not be conducted on the third day on Friday. The angry farmers and his family members are demanding to register an FIR against the Haryana Police over the death of the young farmer.
Deceased Shubhkaran's mother Veerpal Kaur said, "We came to see Shubhkaran's face for the last time and want my son to be cremated. We have come here ourselves. Shubhkaran's father got divorced about 13 years ago." "Full justice should be done to him. My son has gone, and will not come back with money. Sons of other mothers should also come back. Shubhkaran also used to stay at Nani's house," she said.
Jagjit Dallewal and Sarwan Singh Pandher, who are leading the farmers' movement, are adamant about the demand of registering an FIR against the Haryana Police over the death of Shubhkaran. The officials said that the Punjab Police had brought Shubhkaran's body from the Haryana border. Technically, only the Haryana Police can take action in this case, as Shubhkaran's death took place within Haryana's limits.
