Punjab Police will dispatch a team to Canada for extradition of the two main accused in the Jassi honour killing case. This follows rejection of stay on the extradition of Malkiat Kaur and her brother Surjit Badesha by a Canadian court on Tuesday.
DGP Suresh Arora said they would send a team as soon as they get official intimation about the extradition approval.
