In Ludhiana's old city, a 39-year-old photographer named Raminder Singh, also known as Sonu, was fatally shot after he tried to break up a road-rage altercation. The incident occurred around midnight on Monday near JMD Mall. Singh and his friend Sanjeev Kumar, both residents of New Ashok Nagar, were returning from a birthday celebration when a Hyundai Creta allegedly opened fire on them.
Raminder, who was in the passenger seat of a Maruti Brezza, sustained a gunshot wound to his neck and tragically died. Sanjeev was injured in the hand. The two parties involved were strangers, and the dispute arose from a minor disagreement over traffic. According to police, the argument stemmed from a vehicle not yielding the right of way.
After mediating the dispute, Raminder and Sanjeev continued their journey. However, the Creta, without a registration plate, later overtook the Maruti Brezza and its occupants fired at the photographer. Police are investigating the incident and working to identify those responsible.
