Chamkila didn’t tell us that he is already married. He told us that he was unmarried. My father had two conditions: Amarjot’s elder sister Jaswant Kaur
The life of Amar Singh Chamkila is being discussed a lot nowadays especially after the release of Diljit Dosanjh and Parineeti Chopra starrer Amar Singh Chamkila in which Diljit played the character of the singer and Parineeti portrayed Chamkila’s second wife, Amarjot.
Amar Singh Chamkila and Amarjot were brutally murdered by armed assassins at Mehsampur, Punjab where they were slated to perform and even after 36 years of the incident, the police hasn’t been able to provide justice to the families of the victims.
Amarjot was Chamkila’s second wife and recently, Amarjot’s elder sister Jaswant Kaur revealed that they were not aware of Chamkila’s first marriage and they came to know about it only after Chamkila and Amarjot’s son Jaiman Chamkila was born.
During an interview, Jaswant Kaur said, “There were no plans of Amarjot’s marriage. Chamkila didn’t tell us that he is already married. He told us that he was unmarried. My father had two conditions – that the boy should be singer and unmarried. They finally tied the knot. After the birth of Amarjot and Chamkila’s son, we got to know about his first marriage.”
She further said, “It has been 36 years but we still haven’t gotten any justice, no file was opened. We demand that the perpetrators be arrested and punished. We have lost our family members so they should be punished.”
Will they get justice now?
