Fatal shootings of village officials in Punjab
Overview
In late September 2026, a 35-year-old man named Navpreet Singh was shot dead in Gaggobua village, Tarn Taran district. The victim was the husband of a local Shiromani Akali Dal sarpanch. Police indicated the shooting followed a verbal dispute and may have been motivated by “old rivalry or personal enmity.”
On October 4, 2026, a second fatal shooting occurred in Ludhiana involving Navtej Singh, a former sarpanch of Manewal village.
