In Punjab's Ludhiana district, two separate firing incidents targeted gurdwaras within days. On Monday night, a masked man fired two shots at Gurdwara Bhagat Dhanna Ji's gate in Gagra village near Jagraon, leaving a threatening letter against the shrine's head and a Shiromani Akali Dal worker. No injuries were reported. The following day, two masked men fired at the preacher's room inside Gurdwara Manji Sahib in Rajowal Kalan village; the preacher was absent. Police are investigating both cases using CCTV footage and have registered FIRs.
