Had no conflict with anyone, says relative of Naveen Arora; family members seek justice
Firozpur, November 16
Naveen Arora, who was shot dead in Firozpur, had no conflicts with anyone and the family has been receiving full support of the police, a relative of Arora said on Sunday.
Speaking to ANI, Anil Kumar said, "Last night around 6 PM, when he (deceased Naveen Arora) was going on his way, two men shot him and fled the spot. He had no conflict with anyone. The men just came and shot him without saying anything... The family has always helped and supported everyone. The police have been backing us since last night, and we trust that they will bring justice to us..."
Earlier today, Baldev Arora, father of the deceased Naveen Arora, said, "I was sitting at our shop when my son left to take his children to the park... After 15 minutes, someone informed me he was shot by someone in the way, and that too in a manner that he died on the spot. When we took him to the hospital, they asked us to admit him to another hospital."
Another relative, Ashok Bahl, conveyed that the father and grandfather of the deceased were very senior workers of RSS. He claimed that the incident was carried out to "create chaos" in the city.
Meanwhile, Firozpur Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Bhupinder Singh said that they have formed 8-9 teams to investigate the case and are working on all angles, adding that the culprits will be brought to justice in the case.
"Naveen, aged between 30 to 40 years, was shot dead while returning home by two unknown men. We are investigating the case and have deployed teams to check the CCTV footage as well. Three to four SHOs and two DSPs are also working on this. The culprits will be punished as per the law," the police official stated.
According to the official, the victim was riding his motorcycle from his shop to his house when the incident occurred.

The police forming 8-9 teams shows they're taking this seriously. But why mention the RSS connection? Every life matters equally, regardless of political affiliations. Let's focus on catching the killers and ensuring justice for the victim's family.
Such senseless violence in our cities is becoming too common. A man just going about his daily life with his children... This could happen to anyone. The authorities need to strengthen law and order situation across Punjab.
The hospital asking them to go to another hospital when he was already dead on spot - this is so insensitive! Our healthcare system needs more compassion training. My heart goes out to the family dealing with this tragedy.
Hope the CCTV footage leads to quick arrests. In today's time, such brazen shootings in public places should be impossible with all the surveillance. Police need to act fast before the trail goes cold.
The poor children who witnessed their father being shot... The trauma will stay with them forever. Hope the community comes together to support this family through this difficult time. ðŸ™
