One Killed, Two Injured in Daylight Firing Incident in Punjab's Tarn Taran
In Punjab's Tarn Taran district, transporter Manjit Singh Katta and his brother Sandeep Singh allegedly opened fire on a car near Mehndipur crossing, killing Gursewak Singh and injuring two others. The incident, captured on video, occurred in broad daylight and has prompted police investigations. While Katta claimed he fired in self-defense due to extortion threats and suspicion of gangsters, police and victims dispute this, with preliminary inquiries suggesting personal enmity or mistaken identity as possible motives. Authorities continue to investigate and seek the accused.
