3 AAP workers close to Punjab Minister Harpal Singh Cheema killed in Ludhiana crash
Three Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) workers associated with Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema perished in a car accident near Ludhiana on Thursday. The trio, Sandeep Singh of Patiala, Balkar Singh and Vishal Garg from Sangrur, died instantly when their vehicle veered off control, plunging into a pond near Bassian village in Raikot district.
Two other party members in the same car sustained injuries. The incident occurred around 1 am as the team returned from Nakodar in Jalandhar. Police reported that Sandeep Singh was driving at high speed when a stray animal suddenly appeared on the road, causing him to lose control of the vehicle. The two survivors, Bikramjit Singh and Puneet Goyal, are still traumatized and unable to provide statements.
Emergency services rushed the victims to Jagraon Civil Hospital. Jagraon MLA Sarvjit Kaur Manuke arrived at the scene and lamented that the loss of the party workers is a significant blow to the AAP.
