CHANDIGARH: The AAP-led Punjab government has come under sharp attack from opposition parties over the deteriorating law and order situation in the state after a sarpanch from the ruling party was shot dead at a wedding venue in Amritsar.
Jarnail Singh, who had arrived to attend a relative's wedding at the Marigold Resort, was shot in the head by unidentified assailants on Sunday.
He was rushed to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries during treatment. Police officials said the matter is under investigation.
The killing has added to growing concerns as the state witnessed two high-profile murders within a span of four days.
