Late Tuesday night, unidentified gunmen opened fire on two young men in Navan Pind, killing one and wounding the other who was taken to hospital.
A violent incident unfolded late on Tuesday in Navan Pind, a village under the jurisdiction of Jandiala Guru in the Amritsar district of Punjab. Unidentified assailants opened fire on two young men close to a local police outpost, according to reports from local media.
One of the victims succumbed to the gunshot wounds on the spot, while the second was seriously injured and rushed to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. Police officials confirmed that the injured youth is currently receiving medical care, but details of his condition have not been released.
Law enforcement agencies have launched an investigation to identify the perpetrators and determine the motive behind the attack.

No arrests have been made so far, and the case remains under active investigation by the Amritsar police department.
