The move paves the way for eventual disarmament and reincorporation of some 300 Comuneros del Sur fighters into civilian life.

A 17-year-old Class XII student allegedly jumped to his death off the fourth floor of Bestech Mall in Sector 65 in Mohali on Saturday, police said. Mall staff rushed the victim to the Civil Hospital in Phase 6, but doctors pronounced him dead upon arrival, police said.

Sector 65 police station SHO Gagandeep Singh sent the body to the Civil Hospital mortuary and informed the family of the deceased.

“The victim was a Class XII student at a private school and had recently completed his exams. He had been in depression for a few days. He wasn’t speaking to anyone properly, and his behaviour at home was unusual,” the SHO said, quoting the victim’s father.

The father said, “We tried to talk to him several times, but he said everything was fine and that he had no problems. We never imagined he would take such a step.”

“CCTV footage of the mall shows the victim arrived at around 9:30 am. He went to the food court on the fourth floor, where he bought a bottle of water and roamed around for some time. Then he jumped off the fourth floor,” the SHO added.
