New Delhi: After horrific murder of the dalit man, identified as Lakhbir Singh at the farmers protest site in Singhu border, now his body was burnt by pouring diesel by the Punjab Police in Cheema village of Punjab. His body was cremated hurriedly, in torch light.

Also, no Sikh priest was present to perform ‘Ardas’, nor anyone from his village Cheema Kalan attended the cremation, police sources said.
According to reports, he died of excessive bleeding due to several deep wounds, and had 22 injury marks on his body.
The deceased, about 35-36 years old, who used to work as a labourer, has no criminal record or affiliation with any political party, informed the police.
Here is how Twitterati reacted:
Lakhbir Singh, 35 year old Dalit Sikh, who was hacked to death, was hurriedly cremated in the dark of the night, using mobile torch lights, family not even allowed to see him one last time.
No dignity for the dead in Congress ruled Punjab, just because he happened to be a Dalit? https://t.co/zZRonby07r
