Former Congress Leader and Trader Injured in Separate Shooting Incidents in LudhianaPreviousNext

In Ludhiana, Punjab, former Congress leader Jagjot Singh was attacked by a group of around eight men who fired five to six rounds at his car and assaulted him with sharp weapons while he was with his mother and young son. Singh sustained injuries but managed to drive to a hospital for treatment. Police suspect an old rivalry behind the attack and have identified some suspects. Separately, a trader and his sister-in-law were injured in a separate shooting incident nearby, with police investigating possible personal motives in both cases.
