MUMBAI : Actress and singer Shehnaaz Gill’s father Santhok Singh Sukh who recently joined the Bharatiya Janta Party was shot at in Amritsar when two men on a bike fired at him at around 8.30 PM this past Saturday. The move came right ahead of the State Assembly elections in 2022. The incident happened when Santhok Singh was on his way back from events in the city.
