Three months ago, on Tuesday, April 5, a kabaddi player was shot dead following a fight with a group of men outside Punjabi University in Patiala. The president of the kabaddi club there was Dharminder Singh, a native of the village of Don Kalan. He was also politically active.
Prior to the Punjab Assembly elections on February 20, Dharminder Singh campaigned in Ghanaur for the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP). He had previously left the Shiromani Akali Dal. He had made a pitch to Gurlal Ghanaur, another kabaddi player.
