Akali Leader’s PA Murder: Accused Nabbed

In a significant breakthrough, Ludhiana Police have arrested the prime accused in the murder of a personal assistant (PA) of an Akali Dal leader. The arrest was made in Jammu, and authorities are set to officially reveal the case details in a press conference later today.

The brutal incident took place 18 days ago on a highway near Ludhiana. The victim, who served as a close aide to a prominent Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader, was attacked with swords and sharp-edged weapons in a planned ambush. The assailants struck swiftly, leaving the victim fatally wounded on the roadside before fleeing the scene.

The incident sent shockwaves through political circles and raised serious questions about security and political rivalry. Initial investigations hinted at both personal enmity and political motives, which prompted the Ludhiana Police to form a special investigation team (SIT) to track down the killers.

After days of electronic surveillance, mobile tracking, and coordination with inter-state agencies, police finally traced the accused to Jammu, where he was reportedly hiding with fake identity credentials. Sources close to the investigation claim that multiple suspects may have been involved and more arrests are likely.

Police officials have confirmed that the main weapon used in the murder — a traditional sword — has also been recovered, adding more strength to the prosecution’s case.

The family of the deceased has welcomed the arrest and demanded strict punishment for all involved. Senior SAD leaders have also spoken out, calling the incident “a political assassination meant to instill fear.”

The Ludhiana police’s swift action has been applauded, though many are now calling for better protection for political aides and stronger inter-state criminal tracking mechanisms.

The full details of the motive, planning, and execution are expected to be disclosed in today’s press conference by Ludhiana’s Commissioner of Police.
