2 Dera Sacha Sauda followers shot dead in Khanna village, cops suspect Sikh radicals

Two gunmen on a motorbike killed a father-son duo, local organisers for the Dera Sacha Sauda, at a congregation centre of the Sirsa-headquartered sect at Jagera village near Malaudh, 40 km from Khanna in Ludhiana district, on Saturday. "Prime facie, the crime appears to be an offshoot of the ongoing conflict between the dera and Sikh radical elements," Punjab director general of police (DGP) Suresh Arora told Hindustan Times.
