Punjab Cop's Shooting In Amritsar Triggers Political Row

Sources have told NDTV Saroop Singh was going to clock-in for his shift when bike-borne attackers shot and killed him.

A senior police officer was found dead in Punjab's Amritsar on Friday morning.

Assistant Sub Inspector Saroop Singh, who had been posted to the city's Nawad Pind police station, left his home at 9 pm on Thursday. His phone was switched off about 30 minutes later.

According to reports, that was also the last time he spoke to his family.
