AAP leader Gurpreet Singh alias Gopi was shot dead by four armed assailants in this district, with police on Sunday (August 30, 2026) saying the killing was linked to an election-related dispute.
The four car-borne assailants got down from their vehicle in the main bazaar of Mamdot here on Saturday (August 29, 2026) evening and opened fire at 45-year-old Singh and Harpreet alias Happy (22) who were on a motorcycle. Earlier reports had suggested that the victims were in a car.
According to sources, the newly appointed president of Mamdot Nagar Panchayat Vicky Maini from the AAP was following Singh in a separate car. He also came under attack but escaped unhurt, the sources said.
The injured were rushed to the Civil Hospital where the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader was declared brought dead, while Harpreet was referred to a private hospital in Ludhiana.
