Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said Sunday that counselling of policemen entrusted with protecting dignitaries will be done, his statement coming after a judge's wife was shot dead by the personal security guard of the judge in Gurgaon.

The incident happened around 3.30 p.m. Saturday, when Additional Sessions Judge Krishan Kant's wife Ritu (45) and their teenage son Dhruv were visiting a crowded market in Gurgaon.

Dhruv, who was hit in his head by a bullet fired by Mahipal, the judge's official gunman, was admitted to a hospital and doctors said Sunday he continued to be in critical condition.

Mahipal has told police he was depressed because of his family problems. A court sent him to four-day police custody for further interrogation.

Speaking on the sidelines of a programme in Karnal, Khattar told reporters, "Their (the security personnel's) counselling will be done...and time to time such counselling should be done."
