Micro-loan sparks attempted family massacre

A volatile dispute concerning a ₹10,000 micro-loan escalated violently in Giaspura early Sunday morning. A 22-year-old debtor, Sagar, and his associates targeted a local family, firing indiscriminately and injuring four members. The victims, financiers Jasjeet Singh, his wife Sarabjit Kaur, brother Rajveer Singh, and son Gurinder Singh, are currently receiving medical attention. Jasjeet Singh remains in critical condition following a severe abdominal injury. The conflict originated six months prior when Sagar defaulted on loan repayments to Gurinder Singh, escalating to a physical confrontation and an online abusive video. The situation culminated when Sagar and his armed accomplices ambushed the family outside their home. Police have registered an attempted murder case against Sagar, named accomplices Mani and Nikhil, and eight unidentified individuals, initiating a statewide manhunt for the fugitives and firearms.
