Deep Sidhu (37) killed in a fatal car crash

 

Punjabi actor Deep Sidhu has been killed in a car crash with a truck while travelling on the Kundi- Manesar-Palwal Expressway that bypasses Delhi.

The actor was rushed to a hospital but was declared dead on arrival. A video from the scene showed a Mahindra Scorpio which Sidhu was driving smashed into the rear of a trailer truck at approximately 9:30 pm local time on Tuesday.

The Rang Punjab actor was arrested after being accused of leading a group of protesters in storming Delhi’s historic Red Fort using tractors on 26 January,  a protest against farm laws that took place across India last year. The actor was held in jail two months before being granted bail.

The protesters clashed with police on the fringes of the largely peaceful rally.
