Unidentified armed men shot and killed gangster Jarnail Singh in Amritsar's Sathiala village. According to reports, Singh, who belonged to the notorious Gopi Ghamshampuriya gang, was currently out on bail. Senior police officers rushed to the scene. Jarnail Singh was shot 20-25 times by armed assailants. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead.

The police have launched an investigation and manhunt to apprehend the attackers. CCTV footage of the murder in broad daylight has also emerged, showing masked men firing indiscriminately at Jarnail Singh. 

Although preliminary investigations point to gang rivalry, the police have yet to issue an official statement on the subject.
