Earlier on Thursday, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann released the list of new chairmen of different market committees in the state.

It was on April 27 when Kiratpur Sahib police had booked Dhadi along with two others for abetment to suicide after body of a local youth, identified as Deepak Tandon (27), was recovered from Bhakra canal. Tandon had been missing since the intervening night of April 20 and 21 after posting a message to some of his acquaintances through WhatsApp alleging that Koki Lala, Kamikkar Singh and Sarabjit Bhatoli were responsible for his death.
