Punjab Aam Aadmi Party leader Lucky Oberoi was shot dead in a brutal attack while sitting inside his car in Jalandhar. The incident occurred outside a gurdwara and has sent shockwaves across the city, prompting a massive police crackdown.

According to police, the attack took place around 7:30 am, shortly after Oberoi sat inside his Mahindra Thar. CCTV footage from the spot captured the sequence of events, confirming the timing of the shooting. The assailants allegedly arrived on a Honda Activa and opened fire from both sides of the vehicle. Police officials said the attackers fired around 8 to 10 rounds using two sophisticated weapons.

The entire city has been sealed, with nearly 15 checkpoints set up as part of a large-scale manhunt to trace the attackers.
