However, the exact cause of death has been kept pending till receipt of the chemical examiner’s report from Kharar and histopathology findings from Government Medical College, Amritsar.NCB officials had earlier claimed that Jaswinder died of a cardiac issue while being taken from Jammu to Tarn Taran via Amritsar on March 20 for recovery in the case. They had maintained that due procedure was followed, including judicial inquest proceedings.
