Surjit

Surjit was coming from the Sector 38 West side when the assailants intercepted his white sedan at the Sector 38 light point. They fired at least seven bullets before speeding away. Surjit is reported to have suffered at least two bullet injuries.

Sourced said the attack was the result of an ongoing rivalry between two groups of bouncers in the region. They said Surjit’s name had cropped up when bouncer Amit Sharma, alias Meet, was shot dead in Panchkula’s Saketri area in May 2017.
