After receiving the message, Amanpreet's father, who is working abroad, also reached his native village Dayalpura. 

On Tuesday evening, the last rites of Amanpreet Gill were performed by the people of the area who arrived in large numbers besides villagers and relatives with moist eyes. Giving information, Amanpreet Singh's friend Ashwinder Singh said that the four friends had left home on Thursday evening and reached Gobind Dham Gurdwara Sahib around 6.30 pm on Sunday evening. Till that time Amanpreet was also fine. Ashwinder had told that he did not get any room in the Gurdwara Sahib. So all four of them started roaming in the market to find a room. When he got a room in the hotel again, Amanpreet started saying that his health is not good. After this he was given medicine by the doctor and he started to rest.
