A Punjab Police Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the 2015 Behbal Kalan police firing incident has issued fresh summons to former Union minister and senior BJP leader Vijay Kumar Sampla.
The summons came a day after Sampla appeared before the SIT and asked him to appear on June 28 for examination and recording of his statement.
Sampla has been directed to appear at 11 am at the Punjab Police Officers Institute (PPOI) in Chandigarh.
The SIT believes Sampla is acquainted with the facts and circumstances of the cases and warns that non-compliance may attract action under relevant provisions of law.
Sampla has insisted that the documents based on which he was being questioned should first be provided to him.
He claimed that the action was politically motivated and amounted to harassment, and that he had no direct or indirect involvement in the incidents under investigation.
