LONGOWAL: A 23-year-old man, Jagpal Singh alias Kala, was shot dead by his sister-in-law's father following an altercation at Mander Kalan village in Sangrur district on Monday, police said.

Jatinderpal Singh, SHO, Longowal police station, said the dispute began when Surmukh Singh, a resident of Cheema village, arrived at the victim's residence to take his daughter and her newborn child back to his home. Jagpal's family refused, leading to a verbal spat. "During the altercation, Surmukh fired two shots, killing Jagpal," the SHO added.

An FIR under Sections 103 (murder) and 61(2) for criminal conspiracy of the BNS and under relevant provisions of the Arms Act, 1959, has been registered against Surmukh and his wife Mandeep Kaur, the SHO said.
