Muktsar, December 3
A Dera Sacha Sauda follower out on bail in a sacrilege case was shot by two bike-borne persons at Bhundar village in Gidderbaha segment today.
Charan Dass, 40, a grocery store owner, was inside his shop when one of the attackers posing as a customer entered the store and shot him in the presence of his mother. The second attacker waited outside,” said Sarbjit Singh, SSP, Muktsar. “The victim was taken to the Civil Hospital, Gidderbaha, where he was referred to a Bathinda hospital, but died on the way. We are trying to get the CCTV footage of the area,” said the SSP.
Sources claimed that one of the attackers had covered his face with a piece of cloth.
In April 2018, Dass along with his sister-in-law Sapna Rani had allegedly tried to take away the ‘saroop’ of Guru Granth Sahib from a village gurdwara. However, the granthi thwarted their attempt. — TNS
