Suddenly, two unidentified motorcycle-borne persons intercepted the vehicle and the pillion rider opened fire at Chand Kaur.

A heavy police force has been deployed in Bhaini village following the incident. A massive combing operation has been launched in Bhaini, Machhiwara, Samrala, Khanna and nearby places to locate the assailants.

Chand Kaur was involved in a controversy after she had appointed Thakur Uday Singh as the next sect head following the death of her husband Jagjit Singh in 2012. A faction led by Dalip Singh, elder brother of Uday Singh, had opposed the move.
