Amandeep Singh, a 27-year-old member of a Kaleke village anti-drug committee, was shot in the thigh at his residence on November 7, 2026. Police report the victim is in stable condition and have identified four local suspects in connection with the attack.

Authorities are investigating the motive, noting that Singh had previously provided information leading to FIRs against drug peddlers.
