A Sikh musician, who was a part of a kirtan group in the US, was shot dead by armed miscreants outside a gurdwara in Alabama. The incident took place on February 23.

Raj Singh alias Goldy, a resident of Tanda Sahuwala village in Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor district, had gone to the gurdwara to perform kirtan. He had been in the US with the group for the past one-and-a-half years.

After performing the kirtan with his group, Goldy was standing outside the gurdwara when unidentified miscreants shot him dead.

Goldy was the eldest in his family and the sole breadwinner. His father, Dheere Singh, died five years ago.

He leaves behind his mother, two sisters and a younger brother.

The family has urged the government to make arrangements to bring the body back home for his cremation.
