Gurpreet Singh, known as Gopi Nijjar, was shot dead in the early hours of Friday in Dhilwan village, Kapurthala district, Punjab, India. He was the only witness in the murder case of notorious gangster Sukha Kahlwan, who was killed in January 2015. Nijjar was attacked while sitting alone in his car on the Amritsar-Jalandhar national highway. The police report indicates that multiple shots were fired at him, resulting in his death shortly after he was taken to a hospital. The responsibility for his murder has been claimed by Doni Bal, a foreign-based gangster, who alleged that Nijjar was working for rival gang members. The police are currently investigating the incident, including reviewing CCTV footage from nearby areas, as the crime scene lacked surveillance. Nijjar had a criminal history and had previously received threats due to his involvement in the Kahlwan case, where he testified against several accused individuals. In a related note, the case surrounding Kahlwan's murder remains unresolved, with previous acquittals being challenged in higher courts.
