Punjab AAP leader shot at during argument with Akali leader, receives grave injury
New Delhi/IBNS: An Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader in Punjab was grievously injured after getting hit by a bullet allegedly fired by a leader of the Shiromani Akali Dal during a heated altercation.
The incident was reported from Punjab's Fazilka district.
Local AAP leader Mandeep Singh Brar, who suffered a bullet injury, was taken to a government hospital in Punjab's Jalalabad city.
He was later referred to the district medical centre in Ludhiana for further treatment after seeing his critical condition, media reports said.
Jalalabad AAP MLA Jagdeep Kamboj Goldy alleged the bullet was fired by Akali leader Vardev Singh Mann.
The incident occurred outside the office of the block development and panchayat officer (BDPO). Fazilka senior police officer Varinder Singh Brar rushed to Jalalabad on hearing about the incident.
Brar said that Vardev Singh Noni Mann, the son of former MP Zora Singh Mann, came to the BDPO office to ask about clearing a file linked to a school.
The BDPO declined their request, following which the Akali leaders seemed visibly upset and walked out of the office.
They clashed with the AAP leader, outside the office during which Mandeep Singh Brar was allegedly shot by Akali leader Vardev Singh.
The police said they are investigating the case.
