The shocking incident that took place in Daburji village was captured on CCTV cameras installed inside and outside the victim’s residence.
The purported video of the incident, now going viral on social media, shows two turban-wearing men entering the house and shooting at the man, identified as Sukhchain Singh.

Reports suggest that Singh was taken to the hospital soon after the incident where his condition is said to be critical.
Police have registered a case in the matter and assured that the accused would soon be arrested.
Taking the matter to X, Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal in a post wrote: “The law and order situation in Punjab has completely deteriorated. I am very saddened to see what's happening in Punjab.”
“This morning miscreants fired shots after entering the house of our NRI brother Sukhchain Singh. The mother and child pleaded with folded hands to save the man, but the criminals did not stop. Chief Minister @BhagwantMann, such incidents are happening every day under your rule. Punjabis are not even safe in their own homes. I think you should resign on moral grounds. I pray for the recovery of Sukhchain Singh, who was severely injured,” Badal added further.
