Family Feud Explodes: Ex-MLA's SUV Targeted in Shocking Punjab Shooting

A deep-seated property dispute has taken a dangerous and dramatic turn in Punjab, as police have moved swiftly to book the brother and nephew of former MLA Kuldeep Singh Vadiyal in connection with a brazen firing incident on his SUV. The shocking attack, which occurred two days prior in Mukerian, Hoshiarpur district, has sent ripples through the local political landscape and highlighted the volatile nature of familial disputes.

Sources indicate that on the night of the incident, unidentified assailants opened fire on the former legislator’s vehicle.

Fortunately, Kuldeep Singh Vadiyal was not present in the SUV at the time, averting what could have been a far more tragic outcome. The audacious nature of the attack, targeting a public figure's property, immediately triggered a high-priority investigation by the Punjab Police.

Following intensive scrutiny and a thorough examination of evidence, investigators unearthed a contentious family dynamic as the primary motive.

It emerged that the alleged perpetrators are none other than Vadiyal’s own brother, identified as Lakhwinder Singh, and his nephew, Amandeep Singh. The booking of close family members has added a chilling layer to an already alarming case.

Initial police statements suggest that the roots of this violent confrontation lie in a protracted and bitter property dispute that has festered between the siblings for an extended period.

This internal conflict, previously confined to legal battles or heated arguments, now appears to have escalated to a point where firearms were allegedly used, demonstrating a desperate and dangerous turn of events.

The Mukerian police station has registered a case against Lakhwinder Singh and Amandeep Singh under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, including charges related to attempt to murder and the Arms Act.

While the accused have been booked, the police are actively pursuing their arrest, and further details regarding the investigation are expected to emerge as the probe continues. This incident serves as a stark reminder of how personal disagreements, when left unresolved, can spiral into grave criminal acts, even within the confines of family.
