Man killed in Ludhiana after attackers cut off his hand and delivered it to a shopkeeper

Shakti Singh Bhura travelled to a friend's residence in the Daba area of Ludhiana and was assaulted by a group that burst into the house and used a sharp-edged weapon to amputate his hand. After the attack, the perpetrators placed the severed hand in a bag and delivered it to a grocery shop owner at Street Number 9, Satguru Nagar, instructing the shopkeeper to give it to the homeowner. Bhura was rushed to Civil Hospital, where he later died from his wounds.

Local police, led by SHO Jatinder Kumar, indicated that the violence stemmed from personal rivalry, and names of people frequently associated with the victim have emerged in the investigation. Both the deceased and the alleged attackers have multiple criminal cases pending against them. ACP Roopdeep Kaur confirmed that one of the accused has been taken into custody after the murder charge was filed.
