In a shocking incident that has sent shockwaves through Punjab’s political circles, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Lucky Oborai was brutally assassinated on Friday evening in Jalandhar. The attack unfolded right outside Gurudwara Sahib in Model Town, where unidentified assailants unleashed a barrage of bullets on the prominent party worker.
Eyewitnesses described a scene of chaos as gunfire echoed through the quiet neighborhood. Oborai sustained at least five gunshot wounds to his body and was rushed to a nearby private hospital in critical condition. Despite frantic efforts by medical staff, he succumbed to his injuries shortly after arrival. The brazen daylight murder has instilled fear across Jalandhar, prompting residents to lock their doors and question the city’s safety.
Police swarmed the site within minutes, sealing off the area and launching a comprehensive investigation. Officers are meticulously reviewing footage from surrounding CCTV cameras, hoping to capture clear images of the perpetrators. Special teams have been formed to track down and apprehend the killers, with authorities vowing swift justice.
Lucky Oborai was no stranger to the AAP’s inner workings. His wife had contested the municipal corporation elections on the party’s ticket, though she faced defeat. Known as a close aide to Cantt Halqa in-charge Rajvinder Kaur Thiara, Oborai played a pivotal role in strengthening the party’s grassroots presence in the region. His sudden death raises troubling questions about internal rivalries or external threats targeting AAP functionaries.
Senior police officials, including ADCP Investigation Jayant Pari, arrived promptly at the scene. Pari confirmed that Oborai was hit by multiple bullets in what appears to be a targeted attack by unknown assailants. ‘We are probing every angle with utmost seriousness,’ he stated, emphasizing that political grudges, personal enmities, and other motives are under scrutiny.
As the investigation intensifies, Jalandhar’s law enforcement is under pressure to deliver results. The city holds its breath, awaiting breakthroughs that could unravel the motive behind this cold-blooded killing and restore a semblance of security to its streets.
