Narottam Singh Dhillon, also known as Nims (77), a native of Badal village was found murdered in North Goa. He was the cousin of SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal and the nephew of the late chief minister Parkash Singh Badal.

On Sunday morning, he was reportedly robbed and murdered at his villa in Pillerne-Marra village in North Goa under mysterious circumstances. His caregiver found the body on Sunday morning.

Pawanpreet Singh Badal, alias Bobby, a cousin of the deceased, told a national daily, “Nims once owned a Ferrari car showroom in the US. Before this, he was settled in Canada. For the past few years, he was staying mostly in Goa. His wife and son live in Delhi. His daughter is married abroad. His son had gone to Goa to complete the legal formalities and get the body.”

Major Bhupinder Singh Dhillon, who has served as political secretary to former CM Parkash Singh Badal and is one of the oldest members in the Badal clan, said, “Narottam owned several properties. The entire family is shocked over his murder.”

A boy and his girlfriend, both residents of Madhya Pradesh, have been arrested in connection with the murder; they seem to have entered the villa as his guests.
