The Union Home Ministry has requested a report from the Punjab government regarding the killing of anti-drug activist Parwinder Singh, alias Jhota.
The MHA also sought details on measures to combat drug trafficking, including setting up a dedicated Anti-Narcotics Task Force and strengthening prosecution.
Jhota was shot dead on October 13 in Mansa during a confrontation at a medical store over alleged drug sales, sparking protests and demands for a CBI probe.
