Viral video: How NRI's mother saved his life after gunmen entered his house

Sukhchain Singh, who was shot at in his house in Amritsar, is now out of danger, police said. A video showing the US-based NRI being rescued by his mother as the attackers entered the house has gone viral on the internet.

The viral video, based on CCTV footage, shows two men entering Sukhchain's house at around 7 a.m. as he was getting ready to go to the gym. The two accused stormed the house on the pretext of asking for the registration papers of his luxury car.

The duo fired two shots at Sukhchain Singh until his mother intervened and pleaded with the shooters not to kill her son. A child is also seen pleading with the duo to spare Sukhchain's life.

According to police reports, the attacker's gun jammed and would not fire. Despite this, his mother persistently tried to dissuade her from killing him, ANI reported.

“Gun got stuck after three shots”

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

“The children pleaded with the accused to leave their father alone, but they came to kill him. When the gun jammed after three shots, the accused fled the house,” Amandeep Kaur was quoted as saying by ANI.

Amritsar Police Commissioner Ranjit Singh Dhillon said Sukhchain Singh arrived in Punjab from America in July 2024. He added that the victim's family members had alleged that Sukhchain's ex-wife was involved in the incident and an FIR had been filed against her and her five family members.

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