Witness Turns Hostile in Goldy Brar Case
A very important person who was supposed to help the police in a court case changed his mind and didn't help.
This person was supposed to tell the court who did something bad, but he said he couldn't recognize the person.
The bad thing that happened was when some people shot at a businessman's house.
The police have caught some people, but two are still running away.
The court used a special machine to change the witness's voice so no one could recognize him.
This was because the witness and others are scared of the bad guys.
The witness had earlier said that two people came to his house and told him they did the shooting, but now he won't say who they are.
A protected witness in the Goldy Brar case turned hostile during court proceedings, refusing to identify the accused.
The witness was crucial as he had information about the shooters and their actions after the attack.
The incident involved a shooting at a businessman's house in Sector 5, Chandigarh, on January 19, 2024.
Eight individuals have been arrested, but Goldy Brar and Goldy Dhillon remain at large.
The court used a voice-altering device to protect the witness's identity during the proceedings.
