Ferozepur, June 5 — Panic gripped the city today after a young man was shot dead in broad daylight near Makhu Gate. The victim, identified as Ashu Monga, was killed when unidentified assailants opened fire outside a tattoo shop.
Disturbing videos from the scene show a group of armed youths brandishing pistols and firing shots openly on the road, creating chaos in the area. Eyewitnesses say the attackers fled soon after the shooting, leaving behind a scene of terror and confusion.
“A few boys were seen moving around with guns in their hands. Suddenly, shots were fired, and people started running for cover,” said a local shopkeeper.
The motive behind the attack remains unclear. Police officials, who arrived at the scene shortly after the incident, have cordoned off the area and launched an investigation.
“We are reviewing CCTV footage and verifying the videos circulating on social media. The culprits will be identified and brought to justice,” said a senior police officer.
This brazen act of violence in a public area has raised serious concerns about safety and law enforcement in Ferozepur. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward.
