An NRI, Sukhchain Singh, who recently returned from the United States, was shot at his residence in Daburji area in Amritsar on Saturday. Two armed men entered his home and fired at him at close range, while his wife and child desperately pleaded for his life. Singh sustained two bullet wounds and is currently hospitalized.

The brutal assault was captured on the family’s CCTV camera, showing the attackers fleeing after their pistols jammed. The assailants entered Singh’s house under the pretext of asking about his luxury car’s registration certificate, which he had recently purchased for Rs 1.5 crore.
