Sidhu's car crashed into the rear end of a truck in the northern state of Haryana, senior official of Sonipat Police, Virender Singh, told CNN. He died on the spot, Singh said.

Sidhu was traveling with a woman who was unharmed, according to Singh.

Born in Punjab state, Sidhu started his career as a model before landing a role in the film Ramta Jogi in 2015...

He was a vocal supporter of India's farmer's movement, which saw tens of thousands of farmers camp for months on the outskirts of the capital Delhi. They were protesting against three laws implemented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government that they said could ruin their livelihood.

In a rare retreat, Modi repealed the laws in November last year.

Well crap.
I’ve always been a big fan of Deep Sidhu.

The real question is what were the Farmers Protests and why did they succeed.

Yeah, I’ve seen those “world’s most dangerous roads” vids. Quite a few from India. And I thought the stretch of US 6 between the Bear Mtn Bridge and Peekskill, NY was treacherous in bad weather. Not only the mountain roads prone to rock slides and washouts but in the major cities. I’ll never again complain about traffic in NYC and FL😮😮

Should I ask if “Deep Sidhu” is Hindi for “Deep State” . . . ? (The alliteration got me.)
