Fatehgarh Sahib, August 3
Manish Sood alias Bunty, president of the Punjab unit of Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Suraksha Samiti, was today killed allegedly by his security guard at his residence in Sirhind Mandi of Fatehgarh Sahib.
The guard, identified as Somnath, reportedly pumped 16 bullets into Sood's body, killing him on the spot. Though Somnath has been arrested, reasons for the murder that took place around 11pm are yet to be known.
SP (City) Daljit Singh Rana said it could not be immediately known as to why the guard killed Sood. "Investigations are on and the body has been sent to the civil hospital for post-mortem," he said.
Besides Rana, Senior Superintendent of Police Gurpreet Singh Gill and DSP Jagjit Singh Jalla rushed to the crime spot after being informed about the incident.
Sood was in the news for assault on Beant Singh assassination convict Jagtar Singh Hawara in a court complex in Chandigarh in 2011.
