These sources said the police decided to had sketches of the alleged attackers made on the basis of details given by NRI Dalbir Kaur and Rulda’s family members. Rulda had dropped Dalbir Kaur at Ragho Majra in the evening before he was attacked.
A soft spoken, Rulda Singh, was born in a village near Patiala. He was also general secretary of the NRI wing of the BJP.
A familiar face in the city social life, Rulda Singh remained a man of the masses. He was always around to lend a helping hand for anybody in distress. He was associated with a large number of social and voluntary organisations. Rulda settled down as arhtiya in the New Grain Market on the Sirhind road here about two decades back.
