New Delhi: In a gruesome incident, two Indian men were shot dead on Friday in Italy’s Covo in Bergamo province. The murder took place just as they were leaving a warehouse used as a Gurdwara during a gathering to mark the Vaisakhi festival, according to reports by local newspaper La Sicilia.

Both men were murdered just a few minutes before midnight near the Gurdwara Mata Sahib Kaur Ji in the town’s industrial area. The victims have been identified as 48-year-old Raginder Singh, and 48-year-old Gurmit Singh.

According to the report, the perpetrator allegedly approached the men, fatally shot them and then escaped in a car. Initial findings have ruled out a sudden brawl that escalated into murder as the move, according to the report in the newspaper. The authorities have reportedly recovered around ten shell casings from the scene. The law enforcement is probing the case and is exploring if the murder was a result of a ‘coldly planned execution‘.

A person who witnessed the crime has allegedly told reporters that the perpetrator was ‘an Indian’ who used to visit the gurdwara frequently, much like the victims. The witness has reportedly further stated that the bullets also grazed a third person. There was plans of an official celebration for Vaisakhi on April 18 at a nearby place in which the local institutions would also have participated.
