Lawmaker Dies After Shooting Himself

Indian lawmaker Gurpreet Gogi, a member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has tragically died after accidentally shooting himself. The incident reportedly occurred late on Friday night, resulting in fatal injuries to his head.

Gurpreet Gogi was immediately taken to Dayanand Medical College and Hospital in Ludhiana, where doctors confirmed his death upon arrival. The Punjab Police described the incident as an accident. Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Jaskaran Singh Teja explained, “As per the family members, Gurpreet Gogi accidentally shot himself, resulting in bullet injuries to his head. He was declared dead at the hospital, and his body is now at the mortuary in DMC Hospital.”

The exact cause of death will be clarified after a post-mortem examination. “The post-mortem report will clarify the cause of death,” added the DCP. Authorities are continuing their investigation to understand the full details of the incident.

Gogi became a notable figure in Punjab politics after joining the AAP in 2022. He gained recognition when he defeated two-time Congress MLA Bharat Bhushan Ashu in the Ludhiana assembly elections.

His sudden passing has deeply affected Punjab’s political scene, prompting an outpouring of tributes from colleagues and supporters alike. This tragedy brings to mind a similar event in 2019, when a candidate for the Mississippi state legislature, Carl Robinson, fatally shot his wife before taking his own life.
