Amritsar. A Punjab court on Saturday sent the main accused in the murder of Shiv Sena (Taksali) leader Sudhir Suri to seven-day police custody. Accused Sandeep Singh (31) was produced in the court amid tight security. Suri was shot dead in broad daylight while taking part in a demonstration on Friday. Suri was protesting against the management of Gopal Mandir on Majitha Road, one of the busiest areas of the city.
In fact, broken statues of some Hindu deities were allegedly found on the roadside, which Suri called an act of sacrilege. According to the police, the accused Sandeep has a clothes shop near the protest site. Along with his arrest, a .32 bore licensed weapon used in the crime has also been confiscated. Police have beefed up security at several places in the city. (Language)
