Dera Follower Shot Dead in Punjab’s Faridkot, Canada-based Gangster Claims Attack

Faridkot: A Dera Sacha Sauda follower was shot dead in the broad daylight in Punjab’s Faridkot on Thursday. According to reports, five unidentified men, who came on bikes, opened fire at the deceased, identified as Pardeep Singh and sped away. 

37-year-old Pardeep, who was an accused in a sacrilege case, was opening his dairy shop in Kokatpura early this morning and a few bike-borne assailants fired at him and killed him. The incident was caught on a nearby CCTV camera. In this firing incident, Pardeep’s gunman also sustained bullet injuries. 

Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar claimed responsibility for the attack. It may be noted here that Brar is the main accused on the recent murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, who was shot dead in a similar fashion in May this year.
