She lives in the house with her two children and mother-in-law. Paramjit Kaur said that her mother-in-law had gone to a relative's house on the night of the shooting and she was home with the children. While they were asleep at around 2:20am, she heard explosives sounds and put it down to someone bursting crackers. In the morning, she noticed marks of at least six bullets on the main gate and raised an alarm.
