Actor Deep Sidhu passed away after meeting a road accident near the Kharkhoda toll on the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal on Tuesday. He was a popular face on the internet not just for his work in Punjabi movies but also for his involvement in the Farmers’ Protests of 2021. According to a recent media report, an eyewitness has revealed that Deep was still breathing after the accident and it mainly happened because the actor was speeding beyond the limit and not because of overtaking.
For the unversed, Deep was booked by the police for his connection with the violent Farmers’ Protest held on Republic Day 2021. He was one of the many protesters that spiralled into Red Fort with sticks in their hands. Some reports even suggest that a few of these protesters attacked policemen who were on duty that day, leaving them injured. The protests were organized as a peaceful rebellion against the three farm laws that were introduced by the central government in 2020. The laws were eventually repealed since most of the farmers were against it from the very beginning.
According to a report by India Today, an eyewitness from the scene, named Mohammad Yusuf explained his side of the story, clarifying that it was a case of speeding according to him. He stated that Deep was driving at a speed of 100 km/hour before it collided with a moving trailer truck from behind.
