After relocating to the high court to pursue a CBI probe into the alleged suicide case of Anuj Thapan, accused in the Salman Khan house firing case, the family has announced their decision to transport his body to Punjab for the final rites. The family had earlier refused to claim his body, demanding a CBI probe. Expressing distrust in the post-mortem conducted at JJ hospital, which confirmed death by suicide, the family is urging the Punjab government to conduct a second post-mortem. Additionally, they have staged a protest in Punjab with Thapan’s body.

“We have moved to the high court through our lawyer to request a CBI probe, and the court is set to hear our case soon. We took custody of the body as his mother was unwell and wished to see her child one last time. We have already arrived in Punjab and plan to perform the final rites soon. Additionally, we have requested the Punjab government to conduct a second post-mortem, but we are awaiting their response. In the meantime, we are protesting with the deceased’s body to ensure our demands are addressed,” stated Jaswant Singh, Thapan’s grandfather.
