Daylight firing incident in Ferozepur: one dead, police intensify search for accused
Ferozepur, June 5, 2025: A shocking incident of broad daylight firing between two groups of criminals occurred near Makhu Gate in a crowded area of Ferozepur. CCTV footage captured the assailants openly exchanging gunfire on the busy street. The attackers arrived in a car and on a scooter, firing multiple rounds.
During the firing, one person, identified as Ashu Monga, died on the spot. Police officers and a large force rushed to the scene immediately. DIG Ferozepur, Harmanbir Singh Gill, personally arrived at the location and confirmed that the suspects involved in the shooting are known and the incident appears to be the result of an old enmity, possibly involving a woman as well.
Initially believed to be a gang war, the investigation later revealed otherwise. SSP Ferozepur Bhupinder Singh clarified that it was not a gang rivalry but rather a dispute within a single group of criminals who had a falling out a few days earlier. The car used in the shooting belonged to the deceased, Ashu Monga, and several previous criminal cases were already registered against the suspects.
The SSP further stated that separate police teams have been formed to apprehend the accused, who have been identified and will be arrested soon. The police are scrutinizing the CCTV footage, and the SSP is personally supervising the operation to ensure swift action.
