Punjab Youth dies attempting illegal sea crossing to England, body found

Chandigarh, Oct 18 (UNI) A 29-year-old man from Bhogpur village in Jalandhar lost his life while attempting to reach England by sea. Arvinder Singh, who had been living in France for the past seven years, dreamt of settling in England.
