Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann pledged the harshest penalties for those responsible for the murder of activist Parvinder Singh Jhota, as protests over the incident continued in Mansa. Jhota's father Bhim Singh condemned the administration and called for a statewide strike on October 15, garnering support from opposition parties, farmer unions, and the SGPC.
