He had also been awarded a police gallantry medal, but he actively sought controversy following Gola’s death. One time, he said he had proof of fifty-two fake encounters during terrorism in Punjab.
Amidst farmers’ anger over agricultural legislation, Pinky found himself at the centre of yet another dispute.
Sukhminder Singh Grewal, a BJP leader and personal friend of Pinky, confirmed his demise.
He claimed that Pinky passed away at a private hospital in Sector 34 in Chandigarh on Wednesday morning after suffering a heart attack.
