In Amritsar, Punjab, Shiv Sena leader Sudhir Suri was shot and killed. The incident happened in front of a city temple. Shiv Sena leaders were demonstrating outside the shrine when Suri was shot by a member of the crowd.
His demise was verified by Amritsar Police Commissioner Arun Pal Singh.
After some broken statues were discovered amid rubbish outside the temple grounds, Shiv Sena leaders staged a sit-in protest against the temple officials. The event happened at the Gopal Temple on Majitha Road in Amritsar.
Some protesters shot at Suri during the demonstration. Some of his followers cared for him, but others could be seen hurling gunfire into the air.
Sources claim that the police have taken the attacker into custody. While he was speaking with a police officer, the Shiv Sena leader was attacked. Suri was struck by three bullets from the accused, who then fled into a building. The cops later took him into custody.

According to rumours, Suri was already protected by a sizable security posse since he was on a hit list. The alleged assailant was grabbed by the crowd, and police eventually arrested him. Sandeep Singh has been named as the alleged attacker.
