A violent clash in Machhiwara, Ludhiana, resulted in the death of 30-year-old Gagandeep Singh, also known as Billa. The confrontation occurred on Friday evening between two rival groups, reportedly fueled by a longstanding feud. Eyewitnesses reported that over 30 youths attacked the opposing side with sharp-edged weapons, leading to Gagandeep's fatal injuries and serious wounds to another youth, Mani, who was initially treated at Samrala civil hospital before being referred to a facility in Ludhiana due to his critical condition. Gagandeep's father, Surinder Singh, claimed that his son had recently opposed local drug peddlers, suggesting that the attack was a targeted retaliation. Villagers noted Gagandeep's active involvement in social causes and farmers' protests. The police have initiated an investigation and are working to apprehend all individuals involved in the violence.
