Giving information, Manpreet’s father Baljeet Singh said that Manpreet was our only child and had gone to America 6 years ago and lived in Seattle city of America. 2 days ago I had called from Manpreet and told that I have got a job at a new place. Everyone in the family was happy to hear this news but last night a call came from Manpreet’s friend from America who informed that Manpreet had died due to drowning in water. This news has created a wave of mourning in the entire area because just a few months ago, two friends from the same village had also died in a truck accident in America.
