Sudheer Suri was shot in front of a temple in Amritsar. Suri was seriously injured and died by the time he was taken to the hospital. The shooter is Sandeep Singh, who works in a shop in Amritsar. The police arrested him on the spot. A pistol used for firing was also found. Sandeep Singh is being interrogated by the police. After the news of Sudhir Suri’s death came out, Shiv Sena activists came out with a strong protest. Activists clashed with the police and destroyed vehicles. Anticipating the possibility of the protest turning into a communal conflict, the police stepped up security.
Sudhir Suri’s hate speech was a big controversy earlier. Months after Punjabi singer Siddhu Musewala was shot dead in broad daylight, another prominent figure has been killed in a similar manner in Punjab. With this, the opposition’s allegation that the law and order situation in the state has deteriorated since the Aam Aadmi Party came to power will become stronger.
