Amritsar NRI Firing
Attack ke waqt Sukhchain Singh apne Daburji gaon ke ghar se morning walk ke liye nikal rahe the jab assailants ne unhe intercept kiya. Unhone ghar mein ghus kar teen goliyaan chalayin, jismein do goliyaan unhe lagi—ek sir mein aur ek chest ke paas. Filhaal unki condition stable hai.
Amritsar Police Commissioner Ranjit Singh Dhillon ne bataya ki ye attack Sukhchain Singh ki pehli biwi ke parivaar ke kehne par hua tha. December 2022 mein unki pehli biwi ne suicide ki thi aur uske parivaar ko Sukhchain se shikayat thi.
Police ke mutabik, do criminals—Sukhwinder alias Sukha aur Gurkirat alias Guri—ko Sukhchain Singh ko maarne ke liye hire kiya gaya tha. Dhillon ne kaha, “Hum assailants ki talaash mein hain.”
Arrested logon mein Sarwan Singh (jo Sukhchain ki pehli biwi ke pita hain), Tarn Taran ke Jagjit Singh aur Chamkaur Singh (jo criminals ki madad kar rahe the), aur hotel owner Digambar Attri aur manager Abhilash Bhaskar shamil hain jinhone criminals ko bina ID proof ke accommodation di thi.
Police ne US-based Sukhwinder Singh, Kuljinder Kaur aur uske husband Jasvir Singh ke khilaf bhi case file kiya hai. Sukhchain Singh par goliyaan unki biwi, maa aur pehli shaadi se do bachon ke samne chalayin gayi thi.
CCTV footage mein dikha ki victim ki family assailants se unhe chhodne ki guzaarish kar rahi thi.
Is incident par North American Punjabi Association ne bhi kadi ninda ki hai. Association ke Executive Director, Satnam Singh Chahal, ne kaha ki “NRI par hua yeh attack nafrat paida karta hai aur diaspora community mein insecurity ka mahal banata hai.”
Unhone yeh bhi kaha ki “Law and order ko behtar banane ke liye local authorities aur community leaders ko mil kar kaam karna hoga.”
