A family dispute turned into a horrific murder in Pandori Varaich village of Amritsar district, Punjab. A block committee member associated with the Aam Aadmi Party has been accused of shooting his own younger brother dead. The incident has created a state of heavy tension in the entire area.

According to an NDTV report, the deceased has been identified as Simardeep Singh, who was also known as Prince. The accused brother fired two shots at Simardeep Singh. One bullet hit his head and the second hit the right side of his chest. Simardeep Singh died on the spot due to this fatal attack.

Upon receiving information about the incident, the police reached the spot immediately. The police have registered a case against the accused, Karamjit Singh Kammi. DSP Yadavinder Singh confirmed to the media that the police were informed immediately after the shooting incident and action was initiated promptly.

Preliminary investigations by the police have revealed that a long-standing dispute over the division of family land had been ongoing between the two brothers. This old dispute may have increased the friction between the brothers, which likely culminated in the murder.

According to local residents, the deceased Simardeep Singh was allegedly involved in drug trafficking and substance abuse. There are reports that this caused frequent tension and quarrels within the family. However, the exact reason and motive behind the murder have not yet been fully established by the police.

This case has gained further attention due to the political affiliation of the accused, Karamjit Singh Kammi, with the ruling Aam Aadmi Party. A forensic team was called to the scene by the police to collect scientific evidence and conduct a detailed investigation into the circumstances surrounding the shooting.

The body of the deceased has been sent to the hospital for post-mortem examination. The police stated that further legal action will be taken based on the evidence collected and witness statements during the investigation. Currently, the police are conducting raids at various locations to arrest the accused Karamjit Singh Kammi, as he has been absconding since the incident.
