Social media influencer Mad Sandhu was shot by unidentified assailants in Amritsar and later died while being taken to a nearby hospital, according to reports. The shooting has prompted a police investigation, while the identity of the attackers and the motive behind the attack remain unclear.
A video recorded shortly after the incident has surfaced online, showing Sandhu lying injured on the road. His associates rushed to help him and carried him to a nearby hospital, but he could not be saved.
Police Launch Investigation Into Shooting
Police reached the spot after receiving information about the incident and secured the area as part of the initial investigation.
Investigators are yet to establish who carried out the shooting or what led to the attack. Further details about the circumstances surrounding the incident are awaited.
The video circulating on social media has drawn attention to the incident, although the footage alone does not establish the circumstances or motive behind the shooting.
Earlier Dispute Reportedly Under Scrutiny
Reports have suggested that the attack could be linked to a dispute involving Sandhu and Nihang jathedar Manpreet Singh Khalsa around three months ago. However, the alleged connection has not been independently established, and the motive for the shooting remains unconfirmed.
The earlier controversy reportedly concerned Sandhu’s clothing, social media content and videos from his past. Members associated with the Nihang side had reportedly objected to some of his online activities.
Sandhu had previously responded to the controversy by saying he had made changes in his life and was no longer repeating past mistakes. He had also alleged that older videos were being circulated to reignite the dispute.
It remains unclear whether the earlier disagreement had any connection with the fatal shooting. The investigation is expected to establish the sequence of events and identify those responsible.
