On Saturday night, a black Scorpio SUV darted into the Angadpura neighbourhood of Moga and opened fire on a group of men sitting outside a shop, striking five men and sending bullet splinters into a sixth.
The two fatalities were 30‑year‑old Gagan Jindal and 40‑year‑old Sahil Jindal, both members of the same family. Three others sustained injuries ranging from minor to moderate and were airlifted to local hospitals for treatment.
Police chief Sartaj Singh Chahal arrived within minutes after receiving a call, secured the scene, and is leading a forensic investigation. He pledged a thorough inquiry and promised to identify the perpetrators.
BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu blasted the Bhagwant Mann government, demanding accountability and warning that the state will no longer tolerate such lawlessness. He cited the incident as further evidence of growing criminal impunity across Punjab.
