Multani died of the horrendous serial assault, his lifeless body was shot with rounds of AK47 bullets and the media were given a story of the pace being involved in an encounter with militants. The notorious fake encounters of the despicable Panjab police that liquidated and annihilated an entire generation of young Sikhs.
