NRI Shooting in Punjab Sparks Political Outcry

Sukhchain Singh, an NRI recently returned from the US, was shot three times at his home in Daburji village near Amritsar by two unidentified assailants who demanded his car registration documents. Singh's wife suspects involvement from her husband's ex-wife's family, and police are reportedly close to making arrests. The incident has ignited political controversy, with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) accusing opposition parties of exploiting the situation for political gain, insisting it is a personal matter rather than a law and order issue. AAP spokesperson Neel Garg emphasized that the current administration has improved law enforcement in Punjab compared to previous governments. Meanwhile, investigations continue as opposition parties criticize the AAP for perceived inadequacies in handling such incidents. The attack comes amidst a backdrop of rising concerns for the safety of NRIs in the region.
