A 28-year-old marketing professional, Amit Sabharwal, was shot dead in Amritsar, Punjab, following an argument over a parked scooter, according to police. The incident took place near his residence in the Anand Avenue locality on Chabhal Road. Amit had returned home with a friend when three brothers – Abhi, Sunny, and Hritik Shah – approached them and demanded they move their two-wheeler.
The argument quickly turned violent. Abhi Shah allegedly pulled out a firearm and fired several rounds, hitting Amit multiple times, including in the head. Amit's family rushed him to a nearby hospital, but he was pronounced dead upon arrival. The Station House Officer, Baljinder Singh, stated that police were reviewing CCTV footage from the area to establish the sequence of events.
Authorities are now conducting raids to apprehend the three suspects, who fled the scene. Amit's family expressed shock at the incident, emphasizing that he had no enmity with anyone and calling for strict action against those responsible. A senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader, Ravneet Singh Bittu, criticized the situation in Punjab, stating that law and order had completely collapsed.
He questioned the Chief Minister, Bhagwant Mann, who also holds the Home portfolio, about his response to the murder, demanding immediate arrest of the accused and the harshest punishment. Another opposition leader, Bikram Singh Majithia of the Shiromani Akali Dal, also criticized the state government and advocated for stronger measures to ensure public safety.
