Stray Bullets Injure Boy and Hit Vehicle During Diwali in Ludhiana
On Diwali night in Ludhiana, an eight-year-old boy named Krishan was injured by a stray bullet while sleeping in his home on Gill Road. His mother found the bullet lodged in his abdomen and removed it before rushing him to Civil Hospital, where he is stable. Police are investigating the incident. Separately, a bullet pierced the roof of a Hyundai Creta owned by former councillor Kuldeep Singh Neeta, who suspects threats linked to the firing, though police consider it stray fire during celebrations. Another shell landed near two teenage girls without injury.
