Panic erupted in Chandigarh’s Sector 9 on Wednesday (March 18) when gunfire rang out outside a local gym, leaving a young man critically wounded and later dead from bullet injuries. The victim was swiftly rushed to a nearby hospital before being referred to the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGI) for advanced care, but succumbed en route or upon arrival. This brazen daylight attack, the second firing incident in 24 hours following an assault on Punjab University SOPU president, has heightened security fears in the bustling urban hub.
