Punjab Law College Shooting Leaves Student Dead as Accused Classmate Remains Critical

Investigators probe a one‑sided relationship motive to trace how a suspected illegal pistol entered the campus.

Overview

  • Police identified the accused as Prince Raj and the victim as Sandeep Kaur, both first‑year law students at Mai Bhago Law College in Usma, Tarn Taran.
  • CCTV from the classroom shows Raj speaking with Kaur before pulling a pistol from his bag, shooting her, and then shooting himself.
  • Officers registered an FIR under Section 103 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and relevant Arms Act provisions, seized both students’ phones for forensic analysis, and secured the weapon.
  • Raj remains unconscious and on a ventilator at Guru Nanak Dev Hospital in Amritsar, according to police and hospital officials.
  • Police cite a 'friendship' or one‑sided relationship as the primary lead, while Kaur’s family alleges prior harassment and questions campus security; relatives have sought clarity on the accused’s condition and financial support from the college.
