Punjab man shot dead during argument over parking spot with neighbours in Amritsar

A fatal shooting occurred in the Anand Avenue locality on Chabhal Road in Amritsar, Punjab, following a dispute over a parked scooter. According to police and FIR details, a 27- or 28-year-old marketing professional named Amit was approached by three neighbouring brothers who demanded he move his parked two-wheeler to make way for their vehicle. The situation escalated into a violent argument, and one of the suspects allegedly drew a firearm and discharged multiple rounds at the victim, hitting him in the head and abdomen.

Everything you need to know about this case, in one place.

The victim's family rushed outside after hearing sounds resembling firecrackers and found him critically injured. They attempted to take him to a hospital, but he was either declared dead upon arrival at a private medical facility or succumbed to his injuries on the way. The suspects fled the scene immediately after the incident. Station House Officer Baljinder Singh stated that authorities launched an investigation, registered a case against the three brothers, scanned local CCTV footage, and conducted raids to apprehend the fugitives.

The incident drew sharp political reactions in the state. A senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader criticized the state government and the Chief Minister over the alleged collapse of law and order, while a Shiromani Akali Dal leader also condemned the administration and demanded stronger public safety measures.
