Congress Leader's Brother Shot Dead in Punjab, Police Suspect Personal RivalryPreviousNext

Sukhraj Singh, 27, younger brother of Padda village's Congress sarpanch Navdeep Singh, was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Punjab's Gurdaspur district while returning from a religious event. Police recovered two empty cartridges and suspect the killing may be linked to an old personal rivalry. The family alleges a previous attack on Singh went unaddressed by authorities and has appealed for justice. A case has been registered, and the body was sent for post-mortem examination.
