Punjabi makeup artist, influencer Mad Sandhu shot dead in Amritsar

Mad Sandhu, a prominent social media influencer based in Amritsar, was fatally shot by unknown assailants, leaving him critically injured and ultimately resulting in his death. Shortly after the incident, a video emerged showing Sandhu lying injured on the road. His friends quickly intervened, lifting him and rushing him to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment.

Upon arrival, he succumbed to his injuries. The incident occurred under mysterious circumstances, with law enforcement arriving at the scene to initiate an investigation and secure the area. The identities of those responsible for the attack remain unknown, and the motive behind the shooting is yet to be determined. Initial reports suggest a possible connection to a prior dispute between Sandhu and Nihang jathedar Manpreet Singh Khalsa, who had previously objected to Sandhu's attire, social media presence, and older videos.

Sandhu had responded to the controversy by defending himself, stating that he had made positive changes in his life and that his past actions were not being repeated. He also alleged that his earlier videos were being exploited and that a baseless controversy was being fabricated around them.
