A 22-year-old youth was gunned down by a Nihang at Sandhuan village near here on Monday. The deceased has been identified as Jaspreet Singh.

Raj Bachan Singh Sandhu, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Ropar, said the Nihang, Gurinder Singh, was a witness in an attempt-to-murder case.

He said Jaspreet Singh and his accomplices did not want Gurinder Singh to depose before the court in the case and they had warned him of dire consequences if he dared to do so.

The SSP said on Monday morning, some youths, including Jaspreet, went to meet Gurinder Singh allegedly to threaten him. However, an upset Gurinder Singh resorted to firing from his gun. Jaspreet died on the spot.

The SSP said the police had registered a case under Section 302 of the IPC and had arrested Gurinder Singh from the village.
