An Indian man has been killed by unidentified gunmen while travelling on a national highway in the Philippines, media here reported today.
Jaswinder Singh, 38, a resident of Batac City, was driving in his car with his cousin Amarinder Singh to Ilocos Sur when motorcycle-borne gunmen ambushed them yesterday.
Singh was rushed to a hospital in Batac City with multiple gunshot wounds while his cousin remained unharmed.
Police are yet to determine the identity of the gunmen and the motive for the attack, the Philippines Star reported.
Singh was the second Indian national to be killed in a shooting in the Philippines in a little over a month. In August, Ramandeep Singh Gill from Punjab was gunned down by unidentified armed men at Old Emars Beach Resort.
