Nangal as a professional Kabaddi player, played in the stopper position. He grew up playing the sport and started his career playing state-level matches and was known as ‘Gladiator’ by his fans. He ruled Kabaddi world for more than a decade and played very well in Canada, USA, UK, other than in Punjab.
A disturbing video is surfacing in social media as series of bullets have been fired from distance. Spectators at the tournament were seen fleeing from the spot.
The police are yet to provide any further details about the incident. Netizens on the internet are speculating that he was looking after the major league Kabaddi federation and there is a possibility that there have been some trouble between him and the federation or maybe with the clubs.
