He said in Punjabi as per IndianExpress, ¡°All of us showed up at the office at around noon. Chamkila came by, and we sat around for about 10 minutes before departing for the show. Just as we were about to leave, Chamkila told everybody to not be afraid. He said, ¡®I sing the songs, not you. Jis goli te mera naam likheya hoga, o mere te vajni hi vajni aa (The bullet that has my name written on it will strike only me).¡¯ Some of our older friends had stopped associating with us. But I knew that I had to work somewhere, so it might as well be with Chamkila.¡±

He went on to add, ¡°On our way to Mehsampur, we saw posters of the film Patola. I pointed them out to him. Chamkila was a part of that film, and he said that after the show, we¡¯d all go to watch it together. But that time never came. Before the show, we decided to eat.¡±

¡°Babbi, tenu ki hoya¡± Chamkila Asked

¡°Everybody exited the car, including Chamkila. Amarjot and I were the only ones still inside. I stepped out and opened the boot to take my dhol, Amarjot was still inside. No sooner had I picked up the dhol, I saw from the corner of my eye a man with a covered face pull a machine gun out and start firing. I bolted from the spot, but as I was trying to find cover, I saw Amarjot get hit. She was just about to step out of the car. I could hear them swearing at Chamkila while they were shooting. They shot him in the back, but before being hit, Chamkila looked at Amarjot and noticed the blood coming out of her belly. He asked, ¡®Babbi, tenu ki hoya (Babbi, what happened to you)?¡¯ I never knew before then that Chamkila called Amarjot ¡®Babbi¡¯, said Lal.
