Chandigarh: A shootout as a result of a gang war in Canada's Vancouver left gangster Maninder Dhaliwal and friend Satinder Gill dead, according to a report in Vancouver Sun.
According to the report, the deceased belonged to the Brothers Keepers gang.
The report said, “At the time of shooting near Sundial Hotel in the heart of Whistler village in Vancouver, gangster Maninder Dhaliwal, 29, was accompanied by friend Satinder Gill, who was not involved in the gang.”
