One of Amar Singh Chamkila's killer is still alive
A recent report published in The Print has followed the unfortunate events that followed Amar Singh Chamkila’s brutal assassination on March 8, 1988. The report suggests that filmmaker Kabir Singh Chowdhry, who made a film on the slain singer called Mehsampur, now plans on making a film called Laal Pari. The film will be based on one of the three killers who murdered Chamkila and Amarjot.
“It’s going to be about one of the three killers, who is still alive. I spent time with him before making Mehsampur,” Kabir was quoted as saying.
In addition to this, the report also talks about the family that hosted Chamkila and Amarjot in Mehsampur on an unfortunate day blamed themselves for the killings, and left the country. Former sarpanch of Mehsampur, Surinder Singh, revealed that people would not come out of their houses “out of fear” and the “black day” became all that they could talk about.
Speaking about the family, Surinder said, “The family left soon after. There was a lot of badnami (slander). They could not stay here and had to migrate to Canada.”
