On hearing the gunshot, his family members rushed to his room to check him, and they found him dead. The investigating officer, Mohali Sub-inspector Amandeep Singh said,

    He returned home late and went to his room, while his wife, who is pregnant, was sleeping with her mother-in-law. Prima facie, it looks like a suicide case. Ruling out foul play, we have initiated inquest proceedings under Section 174 of the Criminal Procedure Code on the statement of Brar’s father, who didn’t want any further investigation. After the postmortem, the body was handed over to family members.”

    It’s shocking to know about Namanveer’s death. He was a bright shooter and I accompanied the Indian Universities team to the World University Games in Poland in 2016, where he won the team bronze medal. He was a passionate shooter and always showed his passion for the sport. It’s unfortunate to hear about his death.”
