AAP Punjab MLA Gurpreet Gogi Found Dead In Mysterious Accidental Shooting

LUDHIANA: AAP MLA Gurpreet Gogi Bassi, representing Ludhiana West, was found dead late Friday night with gunshot wounds. The exact cause of death is still under investigation.

"The incident occurred around midnight, and he was declared dead upon arrival at DMC Hospital," report says, citing Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Jaskaran Singh Teja.

Gogi joined AAP in 2022 and secured victory in the Ludhiana Assembly elections, defeating former Congress MLA Bharat Bhushan Ashu. His wife, Sukhchain Kaur Gogi, contested the Municipal Corporation elections but was defeated by Congress candidate Inderjit Singh Indi.

In August 2024, Gogi had demolished the foundation stone of a pipeline project in Buddha Nullah, citing delays in its completion. The Speaker had assured action in response to Gogi’s concerns.

On the day he passed away, Gogi visited the Prachin Sheetla Mata Mandir and assured devotees that he would take action against the burglars who had stolen silver from the temple two days earlier.

Meanwhile, earlier this month, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, Kamal Dey was found dead under mysterious circumstances in Guwahati, Assam, on Monday morning.

He was discovered by the locals in the Maligaon area of Guwahati, Assam. He was serving as the president of the BJP's Jalukbari Mandal.

He was found dead near a main road. According to the reports, Dey left for home on Sunday evening but never reached his destination.
