To bad he's not shaheed...
oops, back on topic!
wanna bet?
I wouldn't bet, but Giani Thakur Singh jee, Jathedar in place of Sant Jarnail Bhindranwale (until Sant jee returns) syill held that Sant jee was alive and well.
If you have any doubts, talk to Damdami Taksaal about the matter.... I dont know much about it.
