Sukhchain Singh, who was shot at inside his house in Amritsar, is now out of danger, said the police. A video of how the NRI from the United States was saved by his mother when the assailants entered the house has gone viral.

Based on CCTV footage, the viral video shows two men entering Sukhchain's house around 7 AM, when he was getting ready to go to the gym. The two accused barged into the house on pretext of enquiring about the registration papers of his luxury vehicle.

The duo fired two shots at Sukhchain Singh till his mother came in between, pleading to the shooters not to kill her son. A child can also be seen pleading to the duo to spare Sukhchain's life.

Police reports indicate that the attackers' weapon jammed and wouldn't fire. Despite this, his mother persistently tried to dissuade them from killing him, reported the ANI.

“When the weapon got stuck after three shots, the accused fled from the house.” - Amandeep Kaur
