NEW DELHI: Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) leader Ravinder Minna was shot dead in Haryana’s Panipat on Friday evening, police said.
The attacker also fired at Minna’s cousin and another person, both of whom were injured.
In a statement, Panipat police confirmed, “JJP leader Ravinder Minna was shot dead in Panipat late Friday evening. The attacker also fired at his cousin and another person. Both were injured, while the JJP leader died. Five teams have been formed to nab the accused.”
The incident follows the killing of BJP leader Surendra Jawahra in Sonipat last week. According to Sonipat police, Jawahra was allegedly shot dead by his neighbor on March 14 due to a land dispute.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (Crime), Gohana police station, Rishi Kant, identified the accused as Monu and said that the incident took place in Jawahara village.
Preliminary investigations suggest the dispute arose after the victim purchased land from the accused’s relatives, eventually leading to the fatal attack.
