Four days ago, an RSS member was killed in Ludhiana
On October 17, Ludhiana RSS leader Ravinder Gosai, office-bearer of the district BJP, was shot dead by unidentified assailants. He died on the spot. Gosai was the head of the Raghunath Nagar Mohan Shakha.
Many condemned it as targeted killing of right-wing activists.
The government has handed over the case to the NIA. It also announced a compensation of Rs. 5L for Gosai's family.
