According to police, shots were fired during the clash outside the college.

BJP leader Tajinder Pal Singh reacted to the clash at Khalsa College. He said, "24-year-old Lovepreet Singh died in the clash between two groups and law and order has collapsed in Punjab but Arvind Kejriwal and Raghav Chadda are telling police to check anti-Kejriwal tweets and take action".

Former Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh also reacted by saying that nine murders were committed in the last two days. Today, a bus was hijacked and looted by armed robbers on a busy highway in broad daylight near Ludhiana".(ANI)
