Gangster Shot Dead in Punjab, Bambiha Gang Claims Responsibility

Punjab : Tensions flared once again in Punjab’s underworld as a known gangster was shot dead in broad daylight. The chilling murder was carried out by armed assailants who surrounded the victim and fired multiple rounds at close range. The Bambiha gang has publicly taken responsibility for the killing and issued a stark warning to rival gang members through a message that read, “Those who bark, be ready too.”

The incident occurred in a busy area, sending shockwaves among locals and raising serious concerns about growing lawlessness and the resurgence of gang violence in the region. Eyewitnesses described a sudden and terrifying scene where a group of assailants intercepted the gangster’s vehicle, forced it to a halt, and opened fire with automatic weapons before fleeing the scene.

Police arrived quickly but were unable to catch the attackers. Forensic teams have since collected bullet casings and are examining CCTV footage from nearby shops and buildings to identify the suspects. The victim, whose name has not been officially released, was declared dead on the spot due to multiple gunshot wounds.

Shortly after the incident, a social media post allegedly from the Bambiha gang surfaced online. In the post, the gang not only claimed responsibility for the assassination but also issued a direct threat to others in the criminal network, suggesting that more violence may follow. Authorities are working to verify the source of the message and are monitoring gang-related activity closely.

This murder has added to an ongoing pattern of violent gang rivalries that have haunted Punjab in recent years. Security agencies have been trying to dismantle these networks, but incidents like this highlight the continuing influence and reach of criminal syndicates in the state.

Police officials have stated that a special investigation team (SIT) has been formed to track down those responsible and prevent any retaliatory attacks. Local residents and business owners are calling for increased security and stricter measures to control organized crime. As law enforcement agencies tighten their grip and prepare for potential fallout, Punjab remains on edge, caught in a dangerous cycle of gang rivalries and public violence.
