Sukhraj Singh, also known as Kaka, was fatally shot in Padda village, Punjab. He is the younger brother of Navdeep Singh, who currently serves as the Congress sarpanch for the village. Local law enforcement officials have launched an investigation into the homicide.

According to police reports, the preliminary investigation suggests that the motive behind the shooting is linked to a personal rivalry. Authorities have not yet released the names of any suspects or announced any arrests in connection with the case. The incident has drawn attention due to the victim's familial ties to a local political figure, though officials have emphasized the personal nature of the dispute rather than political motivations at this stage of the inquiry.
