    Raj Sangha's Killing Was Targeted But He Had No Gang Ties: IHIT

    Darpan News Desk, 27 Nov, 2018 12:02 PM
      A 41-year-old man shot to death in Surrey Monday has been identified by friends as Ranjeev Sangha aka Raj Sangha, a much-loved member of the community and a Bhangra dance promoter.
       
       
      On Tuesday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team confirmed the victim had no gang ties, and said detectives are still working to determine a potential motive for his killing.
       
       
      “Those responsible for the shooting immediately left the area in a black four-door sedan,” Corporal Frank Jang of IHIT said. 
       
       
      "About an hour after the shooting, police were alerted to a black sedan burning near the 12000-block of Cambie It was found approximately 100 metres off of Cambie Road on a pedestrian path.”
       
       
      “Detectives would like to speak with anyone that has information about this vehicle and are seeking dash cam video from drivers who were travelling between Surrey and Richmond along Highway 99 or Highway 91 between 11:46 a.m. and 12:49 p.m.,” Jang said. 
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
      Despite the lack of a confirmed motive, IHIT said investigators believe Sangha's killing was targeted, though Jang could not elaborate on their reasons.
       
       
      "I can't go into the details of what we know so far," he said.
       
       
      Sangha was pronounced dead at the scene, despite first responders' efforts to revive him.
       
       
      Anyone with information is asked to contact the IHIT tip line at 1-877-551-4448, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.  
       
       

      ਕੱਲ ਹੋਏ ਰਾਜ ਸੰਘਾ ਦੇ ਕਤਲ ਬਾਰੇ ਪੁਲਿਸ ਦਾ ਕਹਿਣਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਇਹ ਮਿੱਥ ਕੇ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਕਤਲ ਸੀ ਪਰ ਗੈਂਗ ਹਿੰਸਾ ਨਾਲ ਇਸਦਾ ਕੋਈ ਸਬੰਧ ਨਹੀਂ। ਮੌਕਾ ਏ ਵਾਰਦਾਤ ਤੋਂ ਇਹ ਕਾਲੀ ਕਾਰ ਭੱਜਦੀ ਦਿਖਾਈ ਦਿੱਤੀ।
