00:00This is a new life. I want to go to India. I want to spend time with my family.
00:05Sir, one bullet pierced my other leg.
00:20If I have got a new life, I want to live it.
00:23Because sir, after death, whether you send a charter or anything, it doesn't matter.
00:30Sir, this incident happened on the 27th of last month.
00:43I went from Keef to Laveer, there is a вокzalna station from where all the trains move to Harsikhi.
00:50I went to take a train from there.
00:53I tried 3-4 times but I couldn't board the train.
00:56At the end, we decided to book a private cab.
01:01The rates of cabs were very high.
01:03If we see in Indian currency, in normal days, it is around 3000-4000.
01:085000 hardly.
01:09But that day, we were demanded 4000-3000 dollars.
01:12So in the end, I finalized the deal in 1000 dollars.
01:15The three of us shared and left in the cab.
01:20We crossed 3 checkpoints.
01:23We were asked to return from the 3rd checkpoint.
01:26They told us to travel tomorrow instead of today.
01:30It is better.
01:31It is not secure at night due to security reasons.
01:34We said ok.
01:35Then we were coming back to our city.
01:37In Keef city, as we were sitting in the cab, I was sitting on the left-hand side.
01:43In front of my eyes, a bullet, a red colored bullet, came out of the window.
01:49After that, we were hopeless.
01:51We sat down in the cab.
01:53After sitting down, the firing continued.
01:563-4 people were on the ground and 3-4 people were firing from the building.
02:04They had AK-47s.
02:06After that, we slowly opened the doors.
02:10To save myself, I touched the ground with my chest and lied down.
02:15With the support of the footpath.
02:17Sir, two bullets hit me in my left knee.
02:23One bullet pierced my other leg.
02:27One bullet entered my chest through this hand.
02:33On 2nd, I woke up at 10 in the night.
02:36The doctors explained to me that you were shot.
02:40We received you from there.
02:42You were lying on the road for 3-4 hours.
02:45After 2nd, I woke up.
02:47I called my mother first.
02:49As soon as she heard my voice, she said,
02:51Sir, you can understand.
02:53God has given me this life.
02:55I want to live it.
