Overview
- Naveen Arora, 32, the son of senior RSS leader Baldev Raj Arora, was shot dead by two unidentified motorcycle-borne assailants in Ferozepur on Saturday.
- Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar said the killing fits a series of targeted attacks, citing earlier murders of Jagdish Gagneja and Vikas Bagga as evidence of a pattern.
- Jakhar accused the AAP-led state government of failing in its duties and said there had been no official response to the latest killing, calling for the culprits to be identified and given the strictest punishment.
- He referenced Arvind Kejriwal’s November 6 pledge to wipe out gangsters in seven days, arguing the promise has gone unfulfilled and labeling it an election gimmick.
- The broader opposition joined the criticism, with Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring alleging criminals are acting with impunity and pointing to recent killings of traders in Ferozepur and Amritsar.
