Rajpura (Punjab), June 26, 2026: Panic gripped Rajpura on Friday after two unidentified youths allegedly opened fire at the office of Lakshmi Property Dealer near the underbridge on Patiala Road before fleeing the spot.
According to preliminary information, the assailants fired around eight rounds at the office. Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident, and all staff members present inside escaped unhurt.
Eyewitnesses said the two suspects arrived on an Activa scooter. While one remained outside with the vehicle running, the other, with his face covered, entered the office and enquired about the owner, Ramesh Pahuja.
