AAP Leader Lucky Oberoi Shot Dead Outside Gurdwara In Jalandhar, Raising Fresh Law Order Fears

Punjab has been rocked by a chilling act of violence after Aam Aadmi Party leader Lucky Oberoi was shot dead in broad daylight in Jalandhar. The 38-year-old was attacked just after offering prayers at a gurdwara, when two motorcycle-borne assailants opened fire as he sat inside his Mahindra Thar. Police say eight to ten rounds were fired from close range, shattering the vehicle’s windows and leaving Oberoi critically injured. He later died in hospital. CCTV footage suggests the attackers had carefully tracked his routine, pointing to a planned execution rather than a random attack. While initial investigations indicate old enmity as the possible motive, all angles remain open. The killing has triggered sharp political reactions, with opposition parties accusing the AAP government of failing to maintain law and order. As Punjab mourns another violent morning, questions are mounting over safety, accountability, and the rule of law.
