Parmeet narrated, “My grandfather kept a gun in the house, so the tailor sneaked in with the intention of stealing it; he wanted to use the weapon during the riots.” According to the actor, his mother woke up after hearing noises inside the house. When she attempted to scream, the intruder shot her. Parmeet Sethi revealed that due to limited medical technology and facilities available during that period, doctors were unable to determine where exactly the bullet had lodged.
