Sukhchain Singh, posted as an assistant sub‑inspector with the Government Railway Police, was riding his motorcycle home when three assailants on a motorcycle opened fire at him near Jagdev Khurd village. The gunmen fired a single burst, hit Singh in the left arm, and then rode away before police could intervene.
Singh was rushed to the Civil Hospital in Ajnala, where doctors rendered emergency treatment for a bullet wound that left him with a temporary paralysis of his arm.
The attack follows the murder of ASI Harjit Singh at Bhagtanwala grain market last month, a tragedy that sent shockwaves through Punjab’s policing community.
BJP leader Ravneet Singh Bittu slammed the AAP government, demanding accountability and warning that the state is living under a climate of gangsterism.
A police team has visited the site, registered a case, and is probing multiple angles in a bid to identify the suspects. Officials say the investigation will be presented to the court by the end of the week, with a formal hearing scheduled for Monday.
