Ludhiana, August 17

In a major setback to veteran Sikh activist Surat Singh Khalsa, his son- in-law Satwinder Singh Bhola was stabbed to death by an unidentified assailant near his house at Chicago in the United States on Monday.

Bhola (65) was attacked at around 1.45am when he was heading to his house after parking his car.

Khalsa has been observing fast at Hassanpur village of Ludhiana district, seeking the release of 82 Sikh prisoners lodged in various jails of the country.

Sarvarinder Kaur, Bhola’s wife, who was with her father during his protest had returned to the US on August 5.

Khalsa’s son Ravinderpal Singh Goggi said Bhola could have been killed to scuttle the hunger strike of Khalsa that had started on January 16.

He demanded an independent probe by the US government into the matter to find out the truth behind the killing.

Meanwhile, situation has become tense at Hassanpur village. Tight security arrangements have been made by the authorities to tackle any eventuality.
