Round of bullet kills preggy woman who refused dance with drunk man
2016-12-06
[NYP] This is the horrifying moment a pregnant dancer was shot dead on stage ‐ by drunk men who were angry that they could not dance with her, it was reported.

Kulwinder Kaur died after she was gunned down at a wedding in Bathinda in the Punjab state in Northern India. Four people have since been arrested for the murder of the 25-year-old and remain in custody after shocking footage of the shotgun attack was posted online and went viral.

Among those arrested include Lucky Goyal, the leader of the Sikh political party Shiromani Akali Dal, and his friend Sanjay Goyal. Two others have not yet been named. The young woman’s husband, named as Rajinder Singh, claimed she was three months pregnant when she was killed.
All Sikhs, then. Got it.
He added that a few drunk men tried to get on stage to dance with the girls but they were refused by stage management. Singh claimed they grew frustrated by this and fired a gun out of anger, with a bullet hitting his wife and killing her instantly.

Police Senior Superintendent Swapan Sharma said: "Both weapons found by officers belonged to Sanjay Goyal, but Lucky was holding the 0.32 bore revolver, as per the video clipping which we have seen.

"Lucky fired in the air while trying to go on stage. Sanjay Goyal was also near the stage holding his 0.12 gun. Both weapons have been recovered."

#3  According to wikipedia,

There are a large number of (political) parties with the name "Shiromani Akali Dal"


A lot of what goes on in India is hard to understand for an outsider, but a large number of parties with the same name is particularly baffling.

#2  Take your word for it. Video at link mercifully stops and is quite clear there is going to be a mess.

#1  More shocking than the shooting (to me, anyway) was the brutally careless way she was "carried" off the stage (thunk!) and dragged across the floor. Dunno whether they were trying to hide her or help her at that point, but it was painful to watch. I guess this is where I say "bloody savages" and thank God for putting me in a place where, if I'm gunned down by thugs, I'll be hauled away by experts.
