Jalandhar-based RTI activist Simranjeet Singh was allegedly shot dead at point-blank range by his maternal cousin in Phagwara, police said. This happened after an argument broke out between the two over Simranjeet owing ₹5 lakh to the cousin. The clarification comes amid speculations that Singh might have been targeted due to revelations against political bigwigs, including minister Sanjeev Arora.
