Haryanvi singer Ankit Baliyan shot dead outside gym in Shamli
Haryanvi singer and actor Ankit Baliyan was shot dead outside a gym in Shamli, Uttar Pradesh, on Wednesday evening. Police said four assailants fired about 20 rounds at him as he walked to his car after a workout, hitting him in the head. He was declared dead on arrival at hospital. Baliyan, known for the song 'Bhari Court Mein Goli Maarenge Meri Jaan', was also preparing to contest the zila panchayat election.
Police have reviewed CCTV footage and are searching for the attackers. Angry relatives placed the body on Shamli's main square for two-and-a-half hours, demanding the killers' arrest before they would remove the blockade. Superintendent of Police N.P. Singh said a hunt for the four unidentified suspects is under way.
