Gurdwara leader dies near Singhu

A 65-year-old director of a gurdwara in Karnal allegedly died by suicide at the Singhu border here on Wednesday. He was reportedly perturbed over the plight of the farmers agitating against the new laws. Baba Ram Singh, a Sikh religious leader, is said to have shot himself around 3 p.m. and was declared dead at a hospital in Panipat, said Sant Gurmeet Singh, who took him to the hospital. “He left behind a note which we handed over to the police,” he said.
