Man shot in neck thought he would die

A man blasted in the neck in a street shooting told a court that he thought he was going to die.

Dilbag Singh said he felt a massive impact after a shotgun was fired from close range at his neck.

"I was lying on the ground, struggling to breathe and gurgling," he said.

"Blood was pouring from my neck. I was sweating and genuinely thought I was going to die."

He added: "I wanted to get home to see my family before I died."

Mr Singh, 26, from Deepdale, was taken to the Royal Preston Hospital after being attacked in St Paul's Road on April 11 and 56 pellets were removed from his neck and upper body.

Giving evidence at Preston Crown Court, he disputed that he made or signed a statement to police in which the Crown alleges he named two men as his attackers.

Mr Singh claimed he had been "pressurised" by police into naming the defendants in the case, Kyle Parvez and Zainul James, as the gunman and accomplice.

He insisted to the court that he never named them and told defence counsel that he had known both men for some years and that there had never been "bad blood" between them.

The prosecution case is that the statement in which he named both men as the attackers was made by him and was the truth.

Mr Singh was shot near Moor Park and then beaten with a baseball bat as he lay on the ground. The jury has heard the attack was the result of a drugs gang war between men from Deepdale and Fishwick.

James, 18, of The Green, Ribbleton, and Parvez, 20, of Arnhem Road, Callon, both deny attempted murder.

They each further deny having a shotgun with intent to commit murder.

James alone denies arson being reckless as to whether the lives of residents in Manor House Lane were endangered.

He is alleged to have torched a Renault Clio car in which they allegedly arrived to carry out the attack. Following arrest, both men stated they had nothing to do with any shooting and James said he had never set fire to a car.

Drug gang feud led to attack, court told

Date: 06 November 2008

Tensions between Preston drug gangs led to a man being shot in the neck at close range in an attempt to murder him, a jury has heard.

Dilbag Singh, 26, from Preston, suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the neck, but Preston Crown Court heard he survived.

He was taken to hospital, where consultants found a total of 56 pellets had penetrated his upper body, one lodging in the left lung.

It is alleged that two men, Kyle Parvez and Zainul James, were responsible. Prosecutor Katherine Blackwell told the court Parvez and James were members of a drugs gang in Fishwick, Preston, while Mr Singh had associations with another gang from the Deepdale area.

"By April of this year a certain amount of friction had developed between the two groups," she added.

Miss Blackwell said the prosecution's case was that the attempt to murder Mr Singh, on Friday April 11 on St Paul's Road, Deepdale, was in order to avenge the kidnapping of a close friend of the defendants earlier that day.

The defendants are alleged to have sought out Mr Singh because, although he had not taken part in the earlier kidnap, he was affiliated to those believed to have been involved.

The court heard Mr Singh at first told police he could not identify his attackers, but changed his statement five days later, naming James and Parvez.

"Perhaps understandably, he had just been shot, was lucky to be alive and was fearful of further such attacks either on himself or his family," said Miss Blackwell.

However, when he came into the witness box to give evidence to the trial Dilbag Singh told the jury he could not identify his attackers.

When it was put to him by prosecution counsel that he had named the defendants in his second statement to police he said he had been "pressurised" by officers.

"They put names there without my consent – they put names in the statement without my consent," he claimed.

The witness went on to claim the signature on the statement where he named the defendants as his attackers was not his.

Earlier, Miss Blackwell told the court that Parvez and James, along with two others who have not been identified, travelled to the scene of the shooting in a blue Renault Clio.

When they found Mr Singh, Miss Blackwell said, Parvez "stood within a matter of feet of Mr Dilbag Singh and discharged the weapon into his neck".

"While shot and in a state of shock, Zainul James attacked him as he lay on the floor with a baseball bat," she added.

The prosecution claims the car was dumped and torched on playing fields off Manor House Lane, Holme Slack.

James, 18, of The Green, Ribbleton and Parvez, 20, from Arnhem Road, Callon, each denies attempted murder. Both further deny possession of a firearm with intent to commit murder. James alone pleads not guilty to arson.

The trial is expected to last two weeks.

    • lol dal panth Panj told me explicitly not to associate with Vadhbhag Singh Sodhi followers!
    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
