The judicial commission of inquiry will be headed by former chief justice of Kerala High Court V.K. Bali.
Both houses of Parliament were repeatedly adjourned yesterday as the opposition protested noisily demanding a discussion on the Moga incident.
Congress Deputy Leader in the Lok Sabha, Amarinder Singh, moved an adjournment motion to discuss the law and order situation in Punjab.
The former Punjab chief minister has demanded the imposition of President's Rule in Punjab and alleged that the law and order machinery in the state has 'total collapsed'.
The opposition parties have criticized Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal of the Akali Dal and his family, which co-owns Orbit Aviation, the company that runs the bus in which the teen was molested and then thrown off. Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhbir Singh Badal co-owns the bus company.
