HC reserves order on plea seeking CBI probe into Junaid lynching

Chandigarh, November 17

The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Friday reserved its order on a petition seeking a CBI probe into the lynching of 17-year-old Junaid Khan, who was stabbed to death on a train in June.

Justice Rajan Gupta reserved order on the petition after conclusion of arguments in the matter, Arshdeep Singh Cheema, counsel for Junaid’s father, Jalaluddin, said.

Jalaluddin had filed a petition on October 26, seeking a probe by an independent agency such as the CBI in the case.

Junaid, on board a Mathura-bound train, was stabbed to death when he, along with his brothers, was returning home to Khandawli village after shopping for Eid in Delhi in June this year.

His body was dumped close to Asaoti village in Faridabad and the trial is going on in a court in the district. PTI
