Chandigarh, February 16
Punjabi actor-turned-activist Deep Sidhu died on Tuesday evening after his car hit a truck on Kundli-Manesar-Palwal expressway in Haryana’s Sonipat district, will be cremated in Ludhiana. His younger brother lives there.
Deep was accused of being the key conspirator of the Red Fort violence on Republic Day last year.
The 37-year-old actor was said to be travelling from Delhi to Punjab when the incident occurred near Pipli toll plaza in Kharkhoda.
The accident spot was around 25 km from Singhu border, the epicentre of last year’s farmers’ protest against farm laws.
A female friend accompanying him was taken to a hospital where her condition was stable.
Sidhu was a close aide of BJP MP Sunny Deol, who contested from the Gurdaspur seat in Punjab during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. He had remained with Deol during the poll campaigning.
Sunny Deol took to twitter to mourn the demise of Punjabi actor.
Shocked to hear about the passing away of #DeepSidhu, deepest condolences to his daughter amp; wife and to his family. May his soul rest in peace. Om Shanti 🙏🏻🙏🏻
