A 39-year-old photographer, Raminder Singh alias Sonu, was shot dead and his friend injured in a road rage incident in Ludhiana near midnight. The conflict began after a two-wheeler brushed against a Hyundai Creta, leading to a dispute that Sonu tried to mediate. Minutes later, the Creta occupants allegedly fired at Sonu's vehicle near JMD Mall. Police have registered a murder case, identified suspects, and are investigating, with the victim's family and authorities seeking justice.
