Sikh youth murdered in Peshawar by 'unknown' gunmen; India condemns 'targeted killing of minority community' in Pakistan

Two days after the attack on Nankana Sahib Gurdwara in Pakistan's Punjab province, a Sikh youth was found murdered in Peshawar by 'unknown' gunmen. 

Ravinder Singh, 25, was the younger brother of a local journalist Harmeet Singh.

The man has a business in Malaysia and was in Peshawar to shop for his wedding in February.

"Without minorities, no country can flourish and progress. Pakistan is beautiful because of minorities but each year, we end up carrying the dead on our shoulders," Harmeet Singh said as he broke down.

"But there is no protection. That's why I am here to carry my dead brother's body today. I won't rest until the Pakistani government books the murderers of my brother," he added.

A top police official in Peshawar said the body was found under Chamkani police station area and the investigation is on into the matter.

In a strongly-worded statement condemning the murder, India asked the Pakistan government to "stop prevaricating and take immediate action to apprehend and give exemplary punishment to the perpetrators of these heinous acts."

"India strongly condemns targeted killing of minority Sikh community member in Peshawar (Pakistan) that follows recent despicable vandalism and desecration of Gurdwara Sri Janam Asthan at Nankana Sahib and unresolved case of abduction, forced conversion and marriage of a Sikh girl," the statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs said. 

This comes two days after an unruly mob allegedly attacked the Gurudwara Nankana Sahib in Pakistan's Punjab province on Friday.
