Akali Dal Councillor Harjinder Singh Shot Dead in Broad Daylight; Rising Political Crime Challenges Amritsar Administration

National News: Punjab politics was shaken when Shiromani Akali Dal councillor Harjinder Singh Brahmin was shot dead in broad daylight in Amritsar's Jandiala Guru area. Two unknown assailants came on a bike and showered bullets on him in broad daylight. This incident is not only a brutal murder of a public representative but also raises serious questions on the politics and law and order of Punjab.

Conspiracy of death: Murderers came on a bike

According to the information, as soon as Harjinder Singh left for his daily work on Saturday afternoon, two youths riding a motorcycle approached him. One attacker kept the bike started, while the other suddenly got down and started firing at him without any conversation. According to eyewitnesses, three to four bullets were fired directly at the councillor's chest and neck.

He was taken to a nearby hospital in an injured state, where doctors declared him dead. An atmosphere of silence and fear spread in the entire area after this murder.

There were threats earlier; now death has become a reality

The councillor's family says that this was not a sudden incident, but it was a well-planned conspiracy. Harjinder Singh had also been threatened earlier by some unknown people. His brother and brother-in-law clearly said that the attackers were the same people who had fired at their house some time back.

Investigation intensifies; hope from CCTV

The police started the investigation immediately after the incident. The footage of CCTV cameras installed in the area is being examined, and the escape route of the suspects is being traced. ADCP Harpal Singh Randhawa said that along with technical surveillance, local people are also being questioned. A special team has been formed to identify and arrest the killers.

Political or personal rivalry? Big question before the police

Although the real reason behind the murder has not been revealed, two possibilities are emerging in the primary investigation - either it was political rivalry or the bloody result of some personal rivalry. The police are investigating the case from all aspects.

Public outrage over the murder of public representative

Harjinder Singh Brahmin was considered a friendly and active councillor in his area. His popularity and social connections were what kept him in politics. His murder has filled the area with great outrage and a sense of insecurity. People say that when an elected representative is not safe, who will guarantee the safety of the common man?

Now all eyes are on the police action, but Harjinder Singh's death has left an untold fear on the streets of Amritsar. This case is not just a murder but a scratch on the face of democracy.
