Jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has claimed responsibility for the killing of Khalistani terrorist Sukhdool Singh in Canada.

Sukhdool Singh, aka Sukha Duneke, was killed on Wednesday (20 September) night in an inter-gang violence.

Sukhdool was associated with the Khalistani movement in Canada.

Sukdhool, a notorious gangster from Punjab’s Moga, had fled to Canada in 2017 using a fake passport.

He was closely linked to gangster and Khalistani terrorist Arshdeep Dalla.

Sukhdool’s name was included in the list released by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Wednesday (20 September).

The list released by NIA has names of 43 gangsters with connections to Khalistan and Canada.

In a Facebook post, Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang has alleged that Sukhdool aka Sukha Duneke played a significant role in the murders of gangsters Gurlal Brar and Vicky Middukhera, reports NDTV.

The gang described Duneke as a “drug addict” who got “punished for his sins” and warned that enemies would not be able to survive in India or any other country for that matter.

Currently imprisoned in Ahmedabad on drug smuggling charges that are being probed by the NIA, Lawrence Bishnoi is also accused in the murder case involving singer Sidhu Moosewala.

Duneke’s killing comes at a time of increased diplomatic tensions between India and Canada.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this week told the country’s Parliament that his government had “credible allegations” connecting Indian government agents to the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada.

Nijjar, a 45-year-old leader of the banned terror outfit Khalistan Tiger Force, was shot and killed outside a gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia on 18 June.

He was considered one of India’s most wanted terrorists, with a bounty of Rs 10 lakh on his head.

Following Trudeau’s claim, the Canadian government expelled an Indian diplomat.

In response, India rejected the allegations, calling them “absurd” and “motivated”, and also expelled a senior Canadian diplomat.
