The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is likely to probe the killing of an RSS leader in Punjab, following a recommendation by the State government, a Home Ministry official said.

The Home Ministry is examining the recommendation. RSS leader Ravinder Gosai was shot dead by two motorcycle-borne assailants in Ludhiana on October 17. He was the ‘Sangh Pracharak’ at the RSS Mohan Shakha in Ludhiana.

Four unidentified assailants also shot dead Vipina Sharma, leader of a lesser known Hindu outfit ‘Hindu Sangarash Sena,’ in Amritsar in broad day light on October 30. Senior Punjab RSS leader Jagdish Gagneja was shot by unidentified motorcycle-borne youths in a busy area in Jalandhar on August 6, 2016.
