{ "title": "Punjab AAP Leader's House Under Fire: 23 Rounds Fired, No Injuries", "article": "A chilling incident has unfolded in Punjab's Phagwara, where two motorcycle-borne men opened fire at the residence of Daljit Singh Raju, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party's (AAP) Phagwara coordinator. The attack occurred at around 1:13 am on Thursday, resulting in 23 rounds being fired at the house, shattering windows and door panes. Raju, a close confidante of Hoshiarpur MP Raj Kumar Chabbewal, claimed that the armed men approached the house on foot after parking their motorcycle at a distance. The AAP leader's wife initially thought the sounds were fireworks, but soon realized the gravity of the situation when she saw the men firing at the house. The police have swiftly responded to the incident, deploying a force at the site and conducting raids to investigate all angles of the attack. Phagwara Sub-Divisional Superintendent of Police (SP) Madhvi Sharma assured that the situation is being closely monitored, and efforts are being made to apprehend the perpetrators. A handwritten note was found at the scene, which allegedly mentioned a group's name and a ransom demand of ₹5 crore. However, Raju denied any prior enmity or ransom calls. The police have taken the note into consideration and are investigating its authenticity. As the investigation unfolds, the AAP leader attributed the attack to a possible poll nomination dispute with an Akali worker, fueling speculation about the motive behind the incident. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the attack, the police have vowed to bring the perpetrators to justice and ensure the safety of the community."
