Mohali: Around eight rounds were allegedly fired at the Baltana residence of Neetu Chaudhary, a former Congress councillor who is now with the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), at around 2.30am on Wednesday.The attackers fled before anyone could identify them. Bullets struck the walls and main gate of the house, leaving marks and triggering panic in the area.ASP Gazalpreet Kaur said police received information about the firing through the 112 emergency helpline. “On reaching the spot, we found bullet shells and marks on the house. We are investigating the forward and backward linkages of the incident. We are also examining CCTV footage from the approach and escape routes, as well as forensic evidence,” she said.About a year ago, the family had allegedly received a threat from the Doni Bal gang, following which police registered a case.Investigators are probing whether the latest firing is linked to the previous threat or stems from another motive. Identities of the assailants, weapons used and the motive behind the attack are yet to be established. Further investigation is underway.
