New Delhi, Oct 18: A local RSS leader was shot dead near his house in Ludhiana on Tuesday. The two bike-borne assailants with their faces covered fled the scene after committing the crime.

Ravinder Gosain, 58, was the mukhya shikshak of RSS’s Mohan shakha for many years. He was also mandal pradhan of a local BJP unit.

His son Deepak Kumar said: “My father was sitting outside and getting ready to go to our shop. Two persons on motorbike came and called him by name. As he went towards them, they shot him. He died on the spot.”

Gosain had returned from the shakha on Tuesday morning, a few minutes before the shooting. He suffered two bullet wounds — one to his head and another in his shoulder.

“I was inside the home when this happened. I thought some children must be bursting firecrackers due to Diwali. When we came out, he was lying in pool of blood,” added Deepak.

Basti Jodhewal police station registered a FIR against unidentified persons. Ludhiana Commissioner of police RN Dhoke said investigations have started.

Punjab has recently witnessed a spate of such killing, including the murder of Namdhari sect matriarch Chand Kaur at Bhaini Sahib, senior RSS leader Jagdish Gagneja in Jalandhar, Hindu Takht leader Amit Sharma in Ludhiana, Shiv Sena worker Durg Prasad Gupta in Khanna, two followers of Dera Sacha Sauda at Ludhiana and church pastor Sultan Masih at Ludhiana.

Mar 4: Twenty-one Italian tourists and three Indian tour operators have been sent to an ITBP quarantine facility in Delhi on Tuesday for suspected coronavirus exposure, official sources said.

Health Ministry sources said these foreigners, 13 women and eight men, were in the same group of which an Italian and his wife have tested positive in Rajasthan capital Jaipur.

“His (Italian in Jaipur) condition is stable,” a source said.

Three Indians, who were accompanying this Italian group as tour operators, have also been sent to the ITBP facility in Chhawla area of south-west Delhi, they said.

All these people, staying at a five-star hotel in south Delhi, have been put in “preventive isolation” at the ITBP camp and their samples will be taken on Wednesday, sources said.

The centre already has 112 people, 76 Indians and 36 foreigners, since February 27 after they were evacuated by an IAF plane from Wuhan in China, the epicentre of the coronavirus.

The first samples of these 112 people had tested negative when reports came in last week.
