Food and Drug administrator (FDA) officer Neha Shoree was shot dead in Kharar by a chemist. The assailant, Balwinder Singh, walked into FDA office and fired four rounds at her, two of which hit her.

Balwinder in his late forties, had a chemist shop in Morinda and his license was cancelled 10 years ago when a huge cache of intoxicants were recovered during the raid conducted by Neha.

Neha, 38 years old, is survived by husband Varun Monga and daughter. She lived in Panchkula.
