Spiritual leader and Nirankari sect head Baba Hardev Singh was killed in a road accident in Canada on Friday. He was the chief priest of the Sant Nirankari Mission. His father Gurbachan Singh was the previous Satguru of the Sant Nirankari Mission. He completed his education in Patiala and Delhi University and joined the Nirankari Sewa Dal in 1971 as a primary member. He succeeded his father Satguru Sant Gurbachan Singh after his assassination. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences and said Baba Hardev Singh’s demise was tragic and “a great loss to the spiritual world. My thoughts are with his countless followers.”
