Assassination bid for Sukhbir Badal at Golden Temple: Congress vs AAP; SAD takes aim at Canada, says 'Khalistani left…' | 10 points | Mint

In a shocking incident, Sukhbir Singh Badal, former Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab, was shot at outside the Golden Temple on Wednesday. The gunman, identified by police as Narain Singh, 68, was later arrested. Badal, however, remains unharmed.

TV footage from news agency ANI shows Narain Singh walking to the entrance of the temple and surreptitiously taking a pistol from his pocket to shoot at Badal. He was stopped and pushed away by a plainclothes police officer standing next to Badal, but not before firing a stray shot, hitting no one, police said.
