Early life and background
Sukhmanpreet Singh Sidhu, known publicly as Sippy Sidhu, was born on 18 December 1980 in Patiala, Punjab. He grew up in a family with deep ties to the legal profession: his grandfather served as a judge at the Punjab and Haryana High Court and his father worked as an additional advocate general of Punjab. Sippy spent his formative years in the Punjab region and attended several schools including Yadavindra Public School in Patiala, Doon International School in Mohali, St. Joseph's Convent Senior Secondary School in Bathinda and The Punjab Public School in Nabha. He later studied at Punjabi University, Patiala, and earned an LLB.

Career
Sippy combined two professional paths: competitive rifle shooting and the law. From his university days he trained and competed in shooting alongside prominent Indian shooters. He represented Punjab in rifle shooting competitions for more than 15 years and won multiple medals, including a gold at the 2001 Punjab National Games where he shared the top podium with Olympic gold medallist Abhinav Bindra. He also served as joint secretary of the Paralympic Committee of India and was posted with the Punjab Police on a sports quota while pursuing his sporting career.

After taking leave from his police posting to complete his legal studies, Sippy established a legal practice in Chandigarh. He started the Sippy Sidhu Law Firm and was a member advocate of the Supreme Court of India.

Public profile
Sippy’s family background and sporting achievements kept him in the public eye in Punjab. He was known both as an accomplished marksman and as a practicing lawyer. Sippy’s family included his mother Deepinder Kaur and a younger brother, Jasman Preet Singh Sidhu, who has worked as a legal adviser to the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee. The family’s legal lineage and Sippy’s own dual careers contributed to local recognition across sports and legal circles.

Death and investigation
On 20 September 2015, Sippy Sidhu was shot dead in a public park in Sector 27, Chandigarh. His body was discovered the following day by a passerby who alerted local police. The case drew sustained attention locally and nationally: the Chandigarh administration recommended a Central Bureau of Investigation probe in January 2016, and the CBI subsequently took over the investigation. The agency at one point announced a monetary reward for information in the case.

Sippy’s family publicly pressed for answers and for accountability. In the months after his death, his mother spoke to investigators and the media, naming a person she believed was involved. Over the course of the inquiry authorities examined multiple leads and actions by local police were scrutinised. In June 2022 an arrest was made in connection with the case.

Latest updates
The CBI formally handled the investigation after the Chandigarh administration sought a federal probe. Reward amounts for information were increased during the inquiry period. Authorities continued investigative work over several years, and an arrest related to the matter was reported in 2022.

Legacy
Sippy Sidhu is remembered in Punjab as a national-level rifle shooter who represented his state for many years and as a lawyer who built a practice in Chandigarh. His death prompted public demonstrations and calls for justice from family, friends and supporters, and it led to a lengthy criminal investigation by federal authorities.
