SGPC President Harjinder Singh Dhami made the announcement after visiting Jhota’s father, Bhim Singh, to offer condolences and formally acknowledge Jhota’s sacrifice in the state’s ongoing fight against narcotics.
“Sikh institutions have a duty to stand by families in such circumstances,” Dhami stated during his visit, reaffirming that the community remains fully united with the bereaved family.
In addition to the museum installation, the SGPC chief announced financial relief of Rs five lakh each for the four individuals who sustained injuries during the fatal assault.
