Kharkhoda, 16 February 2023 (GNP): The death of Deep Sidhu, a prominent Sikh activist and community leader who had joined widespread national protests against the controversial farm laws in India, continues to be shrouded in mystery, with many questioning whether he was the victim of an assassination or a tragic road accident. As more details emerge, the Sikh community is demanding answers and calling for justice to be done.
Initially, it was reported that Singh had died in a car accident on a suburban road in Punjab. However, this explanation was met with skepticism from many within the Sikh community, who pointed to Singh’s history of receiving threats for his activism and his outspoken criticism of the government. Additionally, the police seemed to tell different stories about the incident, adding to the confusion and suspicion.
As the investigation continued, more loose ends began to emerge. One witness claimed to have seen a champagne bottle in Singh’s car, leading to speculation that he may have been celebrating with someone before his death. Others reported seeing a suspicious vehicle in the area around the time of the incident.

Despite these tantalizing clues, the police have yet to release concrete information about what may have happened to Singh. The lack of transparency and the contradictory statements from law enforcement have only added to the frustration and grief of the Sikh community. In response to these developments, the Sikh nation has united in its calls for justice and accountability. Many have taken to social media to express their outrage and demand a thorough investigation into Singh’s death.
Others have organized protests and vigils in Singh’s honor, calling for an end to the violence and persecution faced by the Sikh community in India. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, the most substantial representative organization of Sikhs in India, released an announcement expressing their profound mourning and requesting that the proper course of justice is taken.
“The loss of Deep Singh is a tragic blow to the Sikh community and all those who stand for justice and equality,” the statement read. “We urge the authorities to conduct a full and transparent investigation into his death and to ensure that those responsible are held accountable.” Meanwhile, social media has been flooded with messages of tribute and support for Singh’s family and friends. Many share stories of how he inspired them to participate in activism and community service.
While the inquiry into Singh’s demise is ongoing, the Sikh community has stayed connected through their shared sorrow and resolute commitment to celebrating his legacy by persisting in his endeavors and advocating for fairness and impartiality for everyone.
