Overview
- Harpinder (Harwinder) Singh, known as Happy, was shot outside his gym in Baghapurana when assailants in an SUV fired about 8–10 rounds and fled.
- An FIR names four accused and five to six unidentified accomplices in the Moga case; police say the attack stems from a rivalry and are pursuing remaining suspects.
- Family members and protesters ended a sit-in after the late-night arrests, as allegations against local AAP MLA Amritpal Singh Sukhanand were publicly denied by the legislator.
- In a separate Jalandhar case, sarpanch Mahinder Singh died eight days after an assault linked by police to his anti-drug campaign; three suspects are arrested and one was injured in a police encounter that yielded an illegal 7.67 mm pistol.
- The Moga and Jalandhar killings follow earlier sarpanch shootings in Amritsar and Tarn Taran this year, intensifying scrutiny of law and order as investigations continue.
