Tension gripped Jalandhar after the gruesome murder of Aam Aadmi Party stalwart Lucky Oborai on Friday. Unidentified assailants executed a professional hit outside Gurudwara Sahib in Model Town, firing a volley of shots that left the leader critically wounded.
The attack was swift and merciless: five bullets pierced Oborai’s body, collapsing him in a pool of blood. He was hurriedly transported to a local hospital, where doctors fought in vain to save his life. The event has cast a long shadow over the city, fueling debates on political violence in Punjab.
Jalandhar’s finest descended on the location, cordoning it off and initiating a multi-pronged investigation. CCTV footages are being analyzed frame by frame, while undercover units fan out to gather intelligence on potential suspects. Elite teams stand ready to strike, promising arrests soon.
A dedicated AAP organizer, Oborai supported his wife’s unsuccessful bid in municipal elections. His alliance with Rajvinder Kaur Thiara, in-charge of Cantt Halqa, positioned him at the heart of party operations. Such visibility often invites danger in Punjab’s volatile political arena.
At the site, ADCP Investigation Jayant Pari outlined the facts: multiple gunshots from anonymous attackers. ‘We’re leaving no stone unturned, examining political angles, old grudges, and more,’ he declared. The presence of top cops signals the gravity of the matter.
This assassination not only robs AAP of a key player but also tests the state’s resolve against targeted killings. With public anger mounting, police must navigate a maze of motives—from electoral backlash to underworld links. The coming days will reveal if justice prevails or if Jalandhar descends further into fear.
