A man carrying an automatic charge rifle appeared in front of the jeep and started shooting indiscriminately, Gurvinder Singh said.
The 28-year-old singer also fired two times from his pistol, which was after recovered from his jeep, but it was no match for the sophisticated attack rifles.
Gurvinder Singh stated that shooters attacked it from three sides, and firing continued. Sidhu Moose Wala tried to run but couldn’t, he added.
Sidhu Moose Wala was attacked over 30 times by around eight to 10 attackers, as police sources had earlier said. After firing so many shots, the attackers checked whether he was alive.
