Chandigarh Shooting: Property Dealer Shot Dead in Sector 9 A property dealer was shot dead in Chandigarh’s Sector 9 on Wednesday in a brazen attack near a high-security zone of the city. The 31-year-old victim, Charanpreet Singh, was killed after assailants opened fire near a gym where he had just finished a workout session. According to initial police reports, two men on a motorcycle approached Singh as he was getting into his Scorpio vehicle. They fired at close range, pumping at least eight bullets into his body. Singh sustained multiple injuries, including wounds to his arm and torso, and collapsed inside the car. Witnesses described how he slumped over the driver’s seat immediately after the shooting. His associates rushed him to the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, but he succumbed to severe blood loss en route. Police teams arrived at the scene shortly after the incident and recovered over five empty cartridges. The attack occurred just a short distance from key security establishments, including the Chandigarh administration offices and the office of the senior superintendent of police. Preliminary investigations suggest Singh may have received threats in the past, pointing to the possibility of a targeted killing. Authorities are currently examining potential motives, including property disputes and rivalries within the real estate business. The shooting comes a day after another incident involving gunfire on the campus of Panjab University. During the ongoing student festival Jhankaar, two rounds were allegedly fired by unidentified assailants on a two-wheeler near the Department of Botany parking area. The attack targeted student leader Jashandeep Singh Jawanda, also known as Jashan Jawanda, a member of the Student Organisation of Panjab University (SOPU).#chandigarh #panjab_university #sector_9 #charanpreet_singh #jashandeep_singh_jawanda
