On the assurance of a thorough police probe given by the district administration into the death of a Dera Sacha Sauda follower who was shot last month in Burj Jawahar Singh Wala village in the district, the sect followers today postponed their action plan by a week.

The fresh development comes after suggestions given by DIG (Ferozepur Range), SSP, ADC and DSP city. The Dera Sacha Sauda followers postponed their action plan for another week after the administration assured them of solving the mystery of assault, officials said.

Earlier, senior police officers led by a DIG level officer, an SSP and Additional Deputy Commissioner held meeting with the five member delegation of the religious sect and discussed details of progress of investigation into the case, said Faridkot DIG R S Khatra.
 

Some unidentified persons had fired on Singh who succumbed to his injuries at Ludhiana hospital on June 17 later, three days after the murderous assault.

Khatra assured the delegation they would arrest the culprits and solve the case soon.
