गोलीबारी में ज़िंदा बची कनाडाई सिख जसप्रीत का पुलिस पर बड़ा आरोप
The only Sikh woman to survive a shooting spree in Canada last year, who saw her parents killed in front of her with 13 bullets in her body, wants justice. She says that the police did not do their job properly.
Jagtar Singh Sidhu and Harbhajan Kaur, both about 50, were shot more than 20 times at their rental home on the Caledon-Brampton border in the province of Ontario just before midnight on November 20.
While Sidhu died on the spot, Harbhajan succumbed to his injuries at the hospital he was taken to along with his daughter Jaspreet Kaur Sidhu.
Speaking to CBC News from his hospital bed, Jaspreet said a man broke into his family’s Caledon rental home and started shooting.
Jaspreet told the news channel, “My father was shot in front of me. I heard my mother’s last screams and after that there was complete silence. There were only sounds of bullets. I couldn’t even meet him for the last time.”
“I couldn’t do anything, as soon as I regained consciousness I called 911. ‘The whole family was shot,'” she said.
Jaspreet and his brother Gurdit Singh came to Canada as students a few years ago. His parents had come to the country in July and were scheduled to return to India in January this year.
Jaspreet said that even after almost two months of this tragic incident, the police say that “it is under investigation” and they have no concrete evidence.
Launching a homicide investigation shortly after the incident, the Ontario Provincial Police said in a release that they believed multiple suspects were involved in the deaths in a possible case of mistaken identity.
Jaspreet said, “Whatever happened, the police did not perform their duty properly. No one contacted us, no one responded.”
“Peel police came to our house before it happened. My parents were at home and didn’t speak English. So they contacted my brother’s friend to talk to the police.”
A spokesperson for Peel Police confirmed that the Homicide Bureau had contacted the family on November 16 about an undisclosed investigation.
“We have been sending many emails, more than 2000 emails have been sent to many officials. No one has responded. It is difficult.”
Jaspreet said police were at the driveway for a long time after making inquiries and checking passports.
“If they had warned us, we would have left immediately,” said Jaspreet, adding that she fears for the life of her brother Gurdit, who was not at home at the time of the incident.
“Thankfully he was not at home,” Jaspreet told CBC. We don’t know if we are safe when we go out. I feel scared whenever my brother goes out. Every night I call him several times. I always feel scared if a stranger comes into my room.
She said, “My surgery took more than 18-19 hours and the doctors did not think I would survive. I still have to learn to sit, stand, walk. Some days are fine and some days are full of pain, extreme pain and panic attacks.
Weak, but determined, Jaspreet said she would not stop until she got justice.
“If this happens to us today, it can happen to someone else tomorrow.”
