Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi claims responsibility for Khalistani terrorist Sukhdool Singh's killing

An Indian-origin gangster and Khalistani supporter Sukhdool Singh, also known asSukha Duneke, has been shot dead in an inter-gang rivalry in Canada.

Singh of Davinder Bambiha gang from Moga district was killed in Winnipeg, Canada. He was part of a pro-Khalistani organisation and was helping extremists in facilitating anti-India activities in Canada, according to Indian authorities.

Many media reports are comparing his death to the killing of terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was also gunned down in a similar fashion in Surrey on June 18. Nijjar's death is currently at the heart of a diplomatic tussle between India and Canada, which accuses Indian government agents of beinginvolvedin the murder.

Lawrence Bishnoiclaims responsibility

The gang members of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi have claimed responsibility for the murder, citing revenge for the killings ofgangsters Gurlal Brar and Vicky Middkhera.

The murders were planned by Sukhdool Singh even when he was staying abroad, the gang alleged. Describing Sukhdool Singh as a "drug addict", Lawrence Bishnoi's gang said that he destroyed the lives of many people and that he was ultimately "punished for his sins".

They further warned that their enemies would not survive in India or any other country for that matter.

Bishnoi is currently incarcerated in Ahmedabad on drug smuggling charges that are being investigated by the NIA. Bishnoi is also an accused in the murder case of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.

According to sources, Sukha fled from India to Canada in 2017 using fake documents. There are more than 10 cases registered against him in Punjab.

Singh is among the 43 listed gangsters who have been involved in anti-India terrorism, according to the NIA. These gangsters left India on either Indian passports or through fake or forged travel documents or through theNepalroute in the past.

India-Canada diplomatic row

Leading the pack of countries giving shelter to these terrorists is Canada, which now accuses Indian government agents of killing Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar without providing any substantive proof.

Diplomatic tensions rose after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, on Monday (September 18), accused the Indian government of being involved in the fatal shooting of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was one of the prominent secessionist faces to operatefrom Canada.

The two countries subsequently expelled one senior diplomat each.

On Wednesday, India issued a travel advisory for its citizens in Canada, a day after Ottawa updated its own advisory for India. India's advisory warned of growing anti-India activity and "politically condoned hate crimes."

The advisory urged Indian citizens in Canada and those planning to travel there to exercise caution.

"In view of growing anti-India activities and politically-condoned hate crimes and criminal violence in Canada, all Indian nationals there and those contemplating travel are urged to exercise utmost caution. Recently, threats have particularly targeted Indian diplomats and sections of the Indian community who oppose the anti-India agenda," read India's advisory.

The Canadian government on Thursday rejected India's travel advisory, saying that it is one of the safest countries in the world.
