Indian-American Sikh Cop Sandeep Singh Dhaliwal was shot dead on Friday while he was conducting his duty at a traffic stop. India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar condoled the death of the Police Officer.

Sandeep Singh Dhaliwal stopped a vehicle in which a man and woman were found. The Man who stepped out of the car opened fire on the Sikh Police Officer. A 47-Year-Old suspect identified as Robert Solis was taken into custody and charged with the capital murder.

The 42-Year-Old was the first turbaned cop of Texas. He was part of the Texas Police Department since 10 years. He was the deputy sheriff of Harris County.

Sheriff Ed Gonzalez told Texas Police Department is heartbroken with the lose of a real hero in such a manner. Texas Police suspect it could be a pre-planned attack.

All those who knew Sandeep Singh Dhaliwal remember him as a Sikh Cop who is always ready to help the needy in whatever way he could. There were times he drove the truck to shift the victims to the safe zone at the earliest when an attack happened.
