AAP Sarpanch Murder Amritsar has triggered fresh concerns over Punjab’s law and order.
AAP sarpanch Jarmal Singh was shot dead in broad daylight at a resort in Amritsar.
The incident happened during a wedding ceremony attended by several guests.
Jarmal Singh was the sitting sarpanch of Valtoha village in Tarn Taran district.
He had arrived at the resort to attend a family wedding function.
Police say the attackers mixed with the wedding procession to avoid suspicion.
Two unidentified men opened fire while Singh was eating food inside the venue.
The bullets hit his head, leaving him critically injured.
Doctors rushed him to hospital, but he died during treatment.
CCTV cameras outside the marriage palace captured images of the suspects.
Police released the visuals but have not confirmed their identities yet.
Investigators believe the attackers followed Singh before executing the plan.
AAP MLA Sarwan Singh confirmed the shooters posed as wedding guests.
He said the attack happened suddenly, creating panic at the venue.
The victim’s family revealed they had received extortion threats earlier.
They claimed gangsters demanded money and issued repeated warnings.
Singh had already filed a complaint at Valtoha police station.
Police suspect the murder links to extortion rather than personal rivalry.
Senior officers said Singh survived three previous attacks.
Authorities have assured strict action once the accused are identified.
