Two people were shot dead by armed assailants near Shaheed Udham Singh Chowk in Jandiala Guru’s Sheikhupura Mohalla here on Sunday, police said.

According to officials, the deceased identified as Amritpal Singh alias Sajan and his uncle Kulwant Singh were intercepted by four armed men on two motorcycles, who pumped bullets into them.
