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.

Attack Caught on CCTV

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.

Family Accuses Ex-Wife’s Relatives

Singh’s family has accused his first wife’s relatives of orchestrating the attack. His mother has called for strict action against the accused, and an FIR has been lodged against five family members of his ex-wife, according to ANI.
