OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA OTN News reports as gathered that an Indian member of the Legislative Assembly, Gurpreet Gogi, who is under the umbrella of Aam Admi Party (AAP), has accidentally shot himself dead.

OTN News further reports that the Aam Admi Party (AAP) MLA shot himself accidentally and sustained injuries to his head, according to his family.

Speaking, his family explained that the incident occurred around midnight, and he was rushed to Dayanand Medical College and Hospital, where doctors declared him dead.

OTN News recalls that Gulf News had earlier reported on Saturday morning that Gogi was found dead late Friday night with bullet injuries.

However, a Punjab Police official confirmed the death, stating it appeared to be accidental.

Speaking to the media, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Jaskaran Singh Teja said, “As per the family members, he shot himself accidentally and sustained bullet injuries to his head. Gurpreet Gogi was declared dead at the hospital, his body has been kept at the mortuary in the DMC hospital.”

The DCP added that the exact cause of death would be determined once the post-mortem report is available.

“Cause of the death will be clear once the post-mortem reports come,” he noted.

Furthermore, Gulf News added that further investigations are underway to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident.

OTN News research shows that Gogi, who joined the AAP in 2022, had made headlines after defeating two-time Congress MLA Bharat Bhushan Ashu during the Ludhiana assembly elections.

OTN News recalls that in 2019 a similar heartbreaking case happened, when a candidate for the Mississippi state legislature, Carl Robinson, shot dead his wife, Latoya Thompson, and then killed himself after he was served with divorce papers.
