Sudhir Suri, Shiv Sena leader, was shot dead in broad daylight yesterday. A Canada-based gangster, Lakhbir Singh Landa has claimed responsibility for the same.
A pro-Khalistani group named Justice League India claimed responsibility for the killing. Along with it, a video has emerged in which Pakistan-based pro-Khalistan leader Gopal Singh Chawla is seen celebrating the execution of the Hindu leader while also warning those in Punjab who follow similar ideologies that they will be killed as well.
According to reports, the shooting took place Friday (November 4) outside the Gopal temple in Amritsar while Shiv Sena leaders (Taksali) were protesting against the temple’s authorities after some broken idols were found in the garbage outside the temple premises. The prime accused has been arrested and the weapon had been seized.
After the murder of Shiva Sena leader Sudhir Suri in broad daylight, a Canada-based gangster has come forth and taken responsibility for killing him. Lakhbir Singh Landa has claimed responsibility for shooting the Shiv Sena leader dead in a social media post, as per a report by The Tribune.
The report says that the police officials were tightlipped over any further development in the case. According to a police official, the authenticity of the social media post is being tested.
Meanwhile, the situation in Amritsar has remained peaceful. Heavy police security was deputed near the postmortem house. A medical board was formed for the deceased leader’s autopsy.
