An official release by the Information and Public Relations department of Punjab on Sunday stated, "With investigations into the Kotkapura Firing incident reaching the advanced stage, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) head ADGP LK Yadav on Sunday said that if anyone having any additional, relevant information, which may have a bearing upon the case could share by personally meeting him at his office."
