Congress leader’s son dies by suicide in Punjab, records video alleging fraud by builder

Bathinda (The Uttam Hindu): In a tragic incident, advocate Davinder Natt, son of late Congress leader Sukhraj Natt, died by suicide late Sunday night in Punjab’s Bathinda district.

According to reports, Davinder Natt shot himself using his licensed pistol. Before taking the extreme step, he recorded an 8-minute 45-second video in which he held a Chandigarh-based builder responsible for his death.

In the video, he alleged that the builder had defrauded him of around ₹4 crore. He also claimed that he had sought help to recover the money and had even requested Gurmeet Singh Khuddian and Charanjit Singh Channi to speak to the builder, but no resolution was reached. Toward the end of the video, he made an emotional appeal seeking justice for his family.

Davinder Natt was a practicing lawyer and lived with his elderly mother. His father had passed away earlier.

Police reached the spot after receiving information and took the body into custody. The body has been kept at a hospital, and postmortem will be conducted after relatives arrive.

Bathinda SP City Narinder Singh confirmed the incident, stating that the deceased had made serious allegations against the owner of “Sushma Builders” and his sons in the video. The video has been seized as evidence.

Police have initiated proceedings to register a case against the accused based on the statement of the deceased’s mother. Further investigation is underway.
