Days after Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder, the High Court on Thursday ordered the Punjab government to restore the VIP security of 423 persons.
The government has said that the security will be restored on 7 June.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court was hearing a petition by former state minister and Congress leader OP Soni who is among the protectees whose security was curtailed.
The Punjab government told the court that it removed VIP security cover as it needed personnel for Operation Bluestar’s anniversary, NDTV reported.
