A shocking incident of violence has struck the rural outskirts of Amritsar. Jaspal Singh, who served as the nambardar (village headman) of Mangasarai village, was allegedly shot dead while working in his agricultural fields. The police have pointed to a bitter land dispute and a history of old enmity as the primary motives behind the killing.

According to reports, the assailants targeted him as he was engaged in farming activities. Upon receiving the alert, police teams swiftly arrived at the scene.
The area was immediately cordoned off for a thorough forensic examination and investigation.

The complaint names two specific individuals in connection with the murder.
