Another Shocking Murder in Punjab: AAP Sarpanch Shot Dead at Wedding Venue In Amritsar

Amritsar(Punjab)[India] January 04: A wedding is meant for smiles, music, and loud laughter. So what went wrong? In Amritsar on Sunday evening, AAP leader was killed. Jarmal Singh is an Aam Aadmi Party leader and sarpanch of Valtoha village in Tarn Taran district. He had come to bless a bride. He never returned home. Around him were guests, food counters, and music. Suddenly, gunshots cut through the joy. Two men fired at him and vanished. Panic spread. People froze. A happy moment became a dark memory. Punjab has seen such scenes before. But why again, and why here?

Who Was Jarmal Singh and Why Did People Trust Him

Jarmal Singh was around 50 years old. He was not just a political worker. He was a village sarpanch. For many villagers, he was the first call for small problems. Roads, water, land issues. He was active in local politics for years. Valtoha is a large village near the border area. Such regions have a long history of tension, smuggling routes, and gang influence. Leaders here often walk a risky line. Jarmal Singh knew this. Still, he stayed visible. That visibility may have cost him his life.

How the Shooters Entered Like Normal Guests

Eyewitnesses shared a chilling detail. The attackers were not masked. They wore formal suits. They looked like wedding guests. No one stopped them. No one doubted them. That is the scary part. They waited calmly. Jarmal Singh was sitting in the open courtyard, relaxed. Then came the attack. He was shot in the head, say early police findings. The killers escaped quickly. Questions remain. How did they leave so easily? Was it planned for weeks? Or was it a sudden decision?

Fear Grows After a Similar Murder in Mohali

This murder did not happen in isolation. Just days earlier, a kabaddi player and promoter, Kanwar Digvijay Singh, also known as Rana Balachauria, was shot dead in Mohali. That attack also happened in public. Players and spectators were present. A police station was nearby. Still, the attackers escaped. Two public killings. Same state. Same month. People are asking. Is anyone safe in public places now? Is fame becoming a risk in Punjab? Police say there is no direct link yet. But fear does not wait for reports.

Extortion Threats and a Complaint That Now Feels Heavy

AAP MLA Sarwan Singh Dhun was present at the wedding venue. He had tea with Jarmal Singh. Minutes later, chaos followed. The MLA later revealed an important fact. Jarmal Singh had received extortion calls earlier. He had even filed a complaint at Valtoha police station. Some action was taken. But was it enough? This raises a painful question. When threats are reported, how serious are they taken? After death, every warning sounds louder. Before death, they often feel routine.

Police Investigation and the Bigger Punjab Picture

Punjab Police reached the spot quickly after the shooting. DCP Jagjit Singh Walia confirmed a detailed investigation. Human intelligence and technical tools are being used. CCTV footage is being checked. Phone data is under scan. Arrests are promised soon. But public trust is shaken. Punjab has a long history of violence from militancy days to gang wars today. The faces change. The weapons remain. Each murder adds pressure on the system. People are not just asking who killed Jarmal Singh. They are asking when this cycle will stop.

Public Anger, Political Silence, and Unanswered Questions

Why are weddings and sports grounds becoming unsafe? Why do attackers feel fearless? Why do leaders with police complaints still die? These questions are being whispered at tea shops and shouted on social media. Political reactions have been careful. No loud speeches yet. Maybe silence is strategy. Maybe fear. Jarmal Singh’s death is not just one crime story. It reflects a deeper problem. Safety in Punjab is becoming a daily worry.
