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.

New Delhi, Jan 7: Services at various bank branches and ATMs are likely to be affected as hundreds of employees will go on a bank strike across the country on Wednesday.

The bank strike is part of the Bharat Bandh call given by trade unions to protest against the labour reforms and economic policies of the Central government, according to reports.

The protestors' main demand during the Bharat Bandh is that the Centre should drop the proposed labour reforms.

A Bill in this regard was passed and proposes to merge 44 labour laws into four codes -- wages, industrial relations, social security, and safe working conditions.
