Actor Deep Sidhu dies in accident

Actor Deep Sidhu who was out on bail in the Republic Day violence case in January last year has died in a road accident. The accident happened on the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) Expressway that bypasses Delhi. Visuals from the accident site show a white Mahindra Scorpio smashed on the rear of a trailer truck; the SUV's driver side area is completely pushed in by the impact.
Sidhu was going from Delhi to Bhatinda in Punjab when the SUV in which he was travelling rammed a trailer truck, the police said. Hospital authorities said he was brought dead. Sidhu was arrested by the Delhi Police in February last year in connection with a tractor rally by farmers on Republic Day that spiralled into violence after protesters came to the Red Fort and attacked policemen.
