Among those arrested include Lucky Goyal, the leader of the Sikh political party Shiromani Akali Dal, and his friend Sanjay Goyal. Two others have not yet been named.

The young woman’s husband, named as Rajinder Singh, claimed she was three months pregnant when she was killed.

He added that a few drunk men tried to get on stage to dance with the girls but they were refused by stage management.

Singh claimed they grew frustrated by this and fired a gun out of anger, with a bullet hitting his wife and killing her instantly.

“Lucky fired in the air while trying to go on stage. Sanjay Goyal was also near the stage holding his 0.12 gun. Both weapons have been recovered.”
