Five days after four unidentified armed attackers shot dead a youth, facing nearly a dozen criminal cases, in his car at Aulakh village on the Muktsar-Malout road here, the police are so far clueless. No one has been rounded up in this connection.

Linked to SOPU ex-prez Gurlal Brar killing?

Unidentified person(s) in an FB post from account of SOPU ex-chief Gurlal Brar, who was shot in Chandigarh on October 10, claimed responsibility for murdering Ranjit Singh

Ranjit Singh, alias Rana Sidhu, a former kabaddi player, associated with the NSUI, was travelling in his car along with pregnant wife to see a doctor at Aulakh village on Thursday when three persons chasing him in a car fired nearly 15 bullets and fled. He died on the spot.

Rajpal Singh, SP (D), Muktsar, said, “As per the autopsy report, 11 bullets were pulled out from the deceased’s body. His family has not raised suspicion on anyone. But we are probing it from all angles. We are trying to locate the person who posted on Facebook from the account of Gurlal Brar, taking the responsibility of the murder, tagging gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.”

Sources claimed that it was a result of some old gang war as Rana was once linked with gangster Jaipal Ferozepur’s gang. “After Rana’s close aides Jimmy Sidhu and Davinder Bambiha were killed, he too had claimed that some people were trying to eliminate him,” said a relative of the deceased. — TNS
