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.
