While giving an interview, Balkaur Singh said,
  

  I followed him (Sidhu) with his government gunman and went in another car. On the way, I saw a Toyota Corolla car following my son’s Thar. There were four people in it. When my son’s Thar reached near the phirni (outside road) of Jawaharke village, a white colored Bullero car was already waiting there. There were also four people sitting in it. As soon as my son’s Thar reached in front of that Bolero car, the four miscreants started firing indiscriminately at him. The firing continued for some time and then the miscreants fled away with the Bullero and Corolla vehicles. As soon as I reached the spot, it started making noise. I called the people around and then took the son and both the friends to the hospital.”
