Sukhbir Singh assassination bid: Cops summon Chaura’s sons, investigate how he laid hands on ‘sophisticated weapons’

Police sources said that investigation revealed that the pistol from which Chaura opened fire on December 4 was the same one he used in another case registered against him in 2010. Police said that Chaura hid the pistol somewhere in the field. “Chaura was arrested in 2013 related to the old case and all weapons were seized from him. It is surprising how he managed to hide this one.”

Talking to The Indian Express, Chaura’s son Jagjit Singh said that the summon was a sheer harassment. “We were at the police station till 7pm and they asked us all about our family history. They didn’t ask anything related to the case,” he said.

Meanwhile, senior SAD leader and former minister Bikram Singh Majithia on Saturday released more videos of Chaura and his movements ahead of the assassination bid.

The new videos show Chaura moving inside and outside the Golden Temple for around two hours before the attack. It can also be seen that be crosses Sukhbir twice.

“Chaura entered the Golden Temple at 7.30 am on December 3 and was continuously moving around Sukhbir with another person. Who is that person? It seems that they both conducted a recce and attacked the next day. On December 4, he went to the washroom and attacked after that. It is likely that he was hiding the weapon there,” said Majithia.
