A shocking video has surfaced showing the moment unidentified gunmen opened fire at a kabaddi tournament in Mohali, Punjab, critically wounding Rana Balachauria, a 30-year-old star player. The incident occurred during a match in Sector 82, where Balachauria, whose real name is Kanwar Digvijay Singh, had organized the event. The video, shared by Congress leader and hockey legend Pargat Singh on X, shows gunshots ringing out as spectators scramble for safety. The clip, which has been shared by several official handles, has sparked widespread condemnation. The police have launched a search operation to identify the assailants and have registered a case in connection with the murder. Eyewitnesses claim that a group of men arrived at the venue in a Mahindra Bolero vehicle and opened fire on the teams playing in the field before fleeing. The incident has raised concerns about the state of law and order in Punjab, with the BJP's Chandigarh unit accusing the state government of incompetence and a complete collapse of law and order. The party cited previous attacks on sportspersons, including Sandeep Nangal Ambian and Tejpal Singh, as evidence of the state's failure to protect its citizens. A social media post has also emerged alleging that the murder was a revenge attack for the killing of Sidhu Moosewala, a popular Punjabi singer. The post, which has been taken into consideration by the police, names several individuals and claims that the victim had ties to rival gangs. The incident has left the sporting community in shock, with many expressing their condolences to Balachauria's family. The police are working to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
