Amritsar: In a shocking incident late last night, unidentified youths opened fire and threw bottles outside the house of former Akali Dal sarpanch Kamal in Ramnagar Colony on Majitha Road. Kamal’s son was injured in the attack and is currently in critical condition at Guru Nanak Dev Hospital.
According to reports, the attackers arrived at the residence late at night and started firing. Family members said the youths not only fired shots but also threw bottles, causing panic in the neighborhood.
Kamal revealed that previously some individuals had threatened his tenant to keep Rs 20,000 ready or face dire consequences. The same accused allegedly returned last night to carry out the attack in which his son was hurt.
The former sarpanch has appealed to the police administration for justice, expressing concern over the growing insecurity among residents. He accused the miscreants of acting without fear of law enforcement and demanded their immediate arrest and strict action against them.
