According to police, the victim, identified as sarpanch Jarmal Singh (50) from Valtoha village of Tarn Taran district, was shot dead from point-blank range by two people who posed as guests during the wedding. The incident took place at a resort near the Verka Bypass in Amritsar.

The shocking killing of the ruling party leader, which happened when AAP’s Khemkaran MLA Sarwan Singh Dhun was at the same venue, comes a day after a Congress worker was gunned down in Moga’s Bhinder Kalan village.

The Amritsar killing also comes just weeks after the murder of kabaddi player-cum-promoter Kanwar Digvijay Singh, alias Rana Balachauria, 30, who was shot dead in Mohali on December 15 during a tournament by three assailants.
