Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) activist Gurpreet Singh Gopi was shot dead in Mamdot, near Ferozepur, Punjab, after unidentified armed men allegedly chased the motorcycle he was travelling on and opened fire. His associate Harpreet also sustained bullet injuries and is undergoing treatment. Police said the attackers also fired at another vehicle following Gopi, but its occupants escaped unharmed. Ferozepur SSP Bhupinder Singh Sidhu said an old dispute between the two parties appears to be the primary motive, while an election-related dispute is also being investigated. Police have identified the alleged attackers and launched raids to arrest them. (PC: HT)
