Between Thursday and Friday night, unidentified assailants fatally attacked Shiv Sena Moga district president Mangat Rai, police officials confirmed.
During the assault on the stadium road of Moga, an 11-year-old boy, unrelated to Mangat, suffered injuries when the attackers opened fire.
Both victims were rushed to Moga civil hospital where doctors pronounced the 55-year-old Shiv Sena leader dead. Reports indicate that Mangat left his residence after 10 pm to purchase milk when several individuals began following him.
The attackers initially fired at him from behind but missed. As Mangat attempted to escape, three unidentified individuals on a motorcycle pursued him and shot at him again.
Additionally, authorities reported a separate shooting incident at a Moga salon during the same period.
