Punjab shocker: In a horrific and spine-chilling incident, a 31-year-old woman was brutally attacked by a masked man with a sharp weapon in broad daylight in Phase 5, Mohali, Saturday morning.

CCTV footage from the vicinity captured the assailant's brutal attack, showing the masked man fatally wounding Kaur in daylight, with no bystanders intervening to stop the attack or assist the victim.

Despite being rushed to the hospital, Baljinder Kaur succumbed to her injuries. The accused, Sukhchain, has been arrested in connection with the murder.

Further investigation into the case is ongoing.
Punjab has seen a surge in incidents of murder and robbery, leading to widespread alarm and a growing sense of insecurity among the public, who increasingly feel unsafe venturing outside their homes.
