A leader of the Aam Aadmi Party was shot dead outside a gurdwara in the Model Town area of Jalandhar, Punjab, in a shocking incident that has triggered panic and heightened security concerns across the city.

\n\n

The deceased was identified as Lucky Oberoi, a local leader of the Aam Aadmi Party.

According to initial reports, Oberoi was fired at multiple times and sustained five bullet injuries.

He was immediately rushed to a private hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival.
