A 31-year-old property dealer, Charanpreet Singh, was shot dead outside a gym in Chandigarh on Wednesday after two unidentified assailants on a motorcycle opened fire at him.
CCTV footage shows Singh leaving the gym in his Scorpio when the attackers intercepted him. One of them fired multiple rounds, reportedly around eight, hitting him several times as he attempted to flee. He eventually collapsed in the driver’s seat.
Singh was rushed to PGI Hospital in critical condition but reportedly died before arrival due to heavy blood loss. The attackers, who were wearing helmets, remain unidentified, and police are analysing CCTV footage to track them.
An unverified social media post later surfaced, allegedly from gangster Lucky Patial, claiming responsibility and accusing Singh of sharing information with rival gangs.
This marks the second firing incident in the city within 24 hours. A day earlier, a student leader was targeted near Panjab University but escaped without injuries.
