Two Indian police officers were found dead from gunshot wounds at a security checkpoint near the Pakistan border in Punjab’s Gurdaspur district. The incident occurred on Sunday in Adian village under Dorangla police station. The deceased were identified as Assistant Sub-Inspector Ashok Kumar and Head Constable Gurnam Singh, who were on duty at the border post. Their bodies were discovered after gunfire was heard near the checkpoint, and they were declared dead at Gurdaspur Civil Hospital.

Senior police officials and a forensic team have launched an investigation at the scene. Gurdaspur’s Senior Superintendent of Police, Aditya, is leading the inquiry, and the area has been sealed off. Forensic experts collected weapons, cartridge shells, and other evidence to determine the source and direction of the gunfire.

With no eyewitnesses, investigators are examining whether the shooting resulted from an internal dispute or the involvement of a third party. Given the proximity to the international border, security agencies have intensified patrols and issued alerts to nearby posts. Police have yet to release an official statement, confirming only that the investigation is ongoing.
