Kabaddi Promoter Rana Balachauria Shot Dead at Mohali Tournament as Police Launch Manhunt

Police are verifying a social-media claim of responsibility following Fortis Mohali's confirmation of his death.

Overview

  • Kanwar Digvijay Singh, known as Rana Balachauria, was shot at a private kabaddi tournament in Sohana, Mohali, and was declared brought dead at Fortis Mohali.
  • Police said two to three assailants opened fire and escaped on a motorcycle, while some witnesses reported the attackers arriving in a Bolero.
  • Eyewitnesses told investigators the shooters approached him for a selfie before firing as teams were entering the field.
  • The gunfire was captured in live recordings, a case has been registered, and search operations are underway with no arrests announced.
