Sikh politician in Pak killed by Hindu rival for party ticket
A prominent Sikh politician in Pakistan who was gunned down last week was killed by contract killers hired by his miffed Hindu rival after he failed to secure a ticket for elections in 2013, police said on Monday, days after Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the murder.
Baldev Kumar, a Swat district councillor and minority leader of Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), was arrested by the police for his alleged role in the murder of Dr Sardar Sooran Singh, also of the same party in the troubled Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
