An Aam Aadmi Party leader from Anandpur Sahib was shot on Wednesday afternoon at a private function in Agampur village by retired Chandigarh police DSP Dilsher Singh.

The leader was shifted to Anandpur Sahib civil hospital, where his condition is reported to be stable.

The victim, Nitin Nanda, had earlier been a Shiv Sena leader from Ropar before joining the AAP, sources said.

Ropar SSP Gulneet Singh Khurana stated that Dilsher Singh had a longstanding enmity with Nanda over a property dispute.

The two reportedly had an argument at the social function, after which Dilsher Singh fired at Nanda with his licensed revolver. The accused has been arrested.

Anandpur Sahib police have registered a case of attempt to murder against Dilsher Singh.
