The deceased have been identified as Jaspal (52), his wife Prabhjot Kaur, and his younger brother Gurjit (50).

"During the scuffle, Jaspal first attacked Gurjit. When he collapsed on the road, two Personal Security Officers (PSO) fired indiscriminately at Jaspal. A stray bullet also hit his wife. The personal security officers escaped the spot after the incident," a senior police official told news agency IANS.
