NHRC Steps In After Punjab Man Who Raised Drug Alarm Dies by Suicide

India's National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has intervened in the case of Gulzar Singh, a Punjab man who died by suicide after reportedly raising concerns about the drug menace in his area. The rights body has sought copies of his dying declaration, inquest report, postmortem report, and all other relevant records. The intervention signals official scrutiny into whether the state adequately addressed Singh's concerns or protected him. The case highlights the broader issue of drug abuse in Punjab and the risks faced by those who speak out against it.
