Ferozepur, November 1, 2025: Panic gripped the busy Delhi Gate Main Bazaar in Ferozepur on Thursday evening when a firing incident broke out over a trial room CCTV row with an NRI woman at Khurana Cosmetics. As per the information, around 10 unidentified persons arrived and opened fire near the shop, injuring three people.
The situation reportedly escalated after two women entered the cosmetic store around 4:15 PM and asked to try on undergarments. Despite being informed that no trial room was available, they were permitted to use the store room under the supervision of a female employee. When the women noticed a CCTV camera installed there, they allegedly called their relatives, who arrived at the shop and launched a physical attack on the shopkeeper.
Complainant Kuldeep Kumar, son of Lajpat Rai and a resident of Kasuri Gate, stated that unknown persons then opened fire, causing chaos in the market. Following his complaint, the police registered a case against 10 unidentified persons, including two women, under Various Sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Arms Act.
Following the incident, a heavy police presence, including the SP (Detective) and the DSP, arrived at the scene and initiated an investigation. The police reported having taken into custody the DVR, and the same is being examined to identify the attackers. Further investigations are with Ayub Masih, IO.
All three injured persons were rushed to the Civil Hospital by locals. The market was temporarily shut down as fear and tension spread among shopkeepers.
Chamkaur Singh, one of the relatives of the victim's party, condemned the incident, calling it “highly unfortunate.” He said that the firing occurred in self-defence following the altercation and urged the administration to take appropriate action to prevent such incidents in the future.
