According to the police officials, the minority leader and social activist was sitting in his shop when unidentified gunmen opened fire on him and escaped. He succumbed to his wounds and died on the spot, they added.
A murder investigation was launched after lodging a case at Inqalab Police Station.
The Sikh activist worked for inter-religious harmony and was a preacher of peace.
