Viral Video: How NRI’s mother saved his life after shooters entered his house

Police have said that Sukhchain Singh, who was shot at his home in Amritsar, is out of danger. A video of how the US-born NRI was saved by his mother when the attackers entered the house has gone viral.

According to CCTV footage, the viral video shows two men entering Sukhchain’s house at around 7am when he was getting ready to go to the gym. The two accused barged into the house on the pretext of asking for the registration documents of his luxury vehicle.

The duo fired two shots at Sukhchain Singh until his mother stepped in, pleading with the shooters not to kill her son. A child can also be seen pleading with the duo to spare Sukhchain’s life.

Police reports indicate that the attackers’ gun jammed and did not fire. Despite this, his mother persistently tried to dissuade them from killing him, ANI reported.

“When the gun jammed after three shots, the accused fled the house.” – Amandeep Kaur

‘The gun jammed after three shots’

Sukhchain’s wife, Amandeep Kaur, said there were five people in the house during the shooting, including two children and an elderly mother.

“The children kept begging the accused to leave their father, but they came to kill him. When the gun jammed after three shots, the accused fled the house,” Amandeep Kaur told ANI.

Amritsar Police Commissioner Ranjit Singh Dhillon said that Sukhchain Singh arrived in Punjab in July 2024 from the United States. He added that the victim’s family members have alleged the involvement of Sukhchain’s ex-wife in the incident and a case has been filed against her and her five family members.

Dr Krishnan Srinivasan, who treated Sukhchain Singh, said: “When the patient was admitted to the hospital, he was bleeding profusely… The patient is stable… He has injuries on his face and hand.”
