In a tragic turn of events that unfolded in Punjab's Moga district, Baljinder Singh Balli, a prominent local Congress leader, became the victim of a fatal shooting at his residence on Monday. This shocking incident, which has gripped the community, remains shrouded in mystery as authorities scramble to identify the assailants responsible for this heinous crime.
Baljinder Singh Balli, who served as the Congress block president in Ajitwal, was in the midst of a routine activity when tragedy struck. He was getting a haircut when an unknown caller requested him to sign certain documents. Believing it to be an ordinary matter, Balli left his home to attend to the call. However, this decision would prove fateful. Two individuals on a motorcycle suddenly approached him and opened fire, leaving him critically injured before fleeing the scene. Despite swift efforts to rush him to a nearby hospital, Balli succumbed to his injuries during treatment, sending shockwaves through the local political landscape.
Local authorities wasted no time in launching a comprehensive investigation to apprehend the culprits behind this appalling crime. The community anxiously awaits answers as the authorities work diligently to piece together the puzzle of this tragic incident.
Adding a layer of complexity to this already perplexing situation, a Facebook post emerged in which a person named Arsh Dalla claimed responsibility for the murder. In the chilling post, Dalla alleged that Baljinder Singh Balli had adversely affected his future and coerced him into criminal activities. He further asserted that the Congress leader played a pivotal role in his mother's police custody, serving as a motivating factor for seeking revenge.
It is crucial to note that Arsh Dalla is no ordinary individual; he is a designated terrorist and has been on the radar of the National Investigative Agency (NIA). Operating from Canada for the past three to four years, Dalla has been linked to multiple terrorist-related incidents in Punjab, raising further concerns about the international dimensions of this shocking incident.
The community, still reeling from the loss of a respected leader, is left grappling with unanswered questions. As the investigation unfolds, there is a palpable sense of urgency to unmask the mystery behind this shocking incident and bring the perpetrators to justice. The tragic events in Moga serve as a stark reminder of the complexities and challenges that often accompany high-stakes political and personal conflicts.
