Gangster admits to killing Hindu leader on FB post

A Facebook post by a gangster involved in the killing of a Hindu leader in Amritsar, admitting to his crime, has left Punjab Police embarrassed.

Saraj Sandhu, who is being chased by the state police, not only admitted to killing Hindu Sangharsh Sena leader Vipan Sharma, but even suggested that the “killing should not be linked to religion”.

Police sources said on Monday that the social media post of Sandhu, who has been on the run since the killing on October 30, along with three other accused, is being investigated.

“We are verifying whether the gangster has uploaded the post or someone else has done it for him. He must be in touch with some people,” the police source said.

In his post, Sandhu justified Sharma’s killing. He claimed it was carried out to seek revenge. Sharma was involved in a conspiracy to kill Sandhu’s friend’s father.

Last week, Sandhu’s mother was held for allegedly harbouring her son and the other criminals.
