New Delhi: Canadian intelligence reports have indicated that Sukhdool Singh, also known as Sukha Duneke and associated with the Davinder Bambiha gang from Moga district in Punjab, met a tragic end in a violent inter-gang rivalry incident on Wednesday night. While unverified reports suggest that the killing occurred in Winnipeg, Canada, it bears a resemblance to the June 19 killing of terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar during a similar inter-gang conflict in Surrey, Canada. Nijjar had fallen victim to approximately 15 bullets.

Sukha Duneke had reportedly fled India for Canada in 2017, using forged documents, and was facing seven criminal cases in his home country. His violent demise underscores the ongoing issue of gangsters from the Punjab region and surrounding areas seeking refuge abroad to evade legal repercussions. These individuals have left India using various methods, including Indian passports, counterfeit travel documents, or the Nepal route.

Canada has emerged as a favored destination for these fugitives, and it has recently accused India of orchestrating the political assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, although conclusive evidence is lacking.

A list of some of the gangsters sheltered abroad includes:

1. Arshdeep Singh, also known as Arsh Dala, from Moga

2. Charnjeet Singh, also known as Rinku Bihla, from Barnala

3. Gurpinder Singh, also known as Babu Dala, from Ludhiana

4. Lakhbir Singh, also known as Landa, from Tarn Taran

5. Ramandeep Singh, also known as Raman Judge, from Ferozepur

6. Satveer Singh Warring, also known as Sam, from Fazilika

7. Snover Dhillion from Amritsar

8. Sukhdool Singh, also known as Sukha Diuneka, from Moga (deceased)

This situation highlights the complex and ongoing challenges associated with transnational criminal activities and the need for international cooperation in addressing such issues effectively.
