New Delhi: Punjabi singer Aman Dhaliwal who was earlier stabbed in Los Angeles is now recuperating and stable despite suffering many injuries. Dhaliwal has opened up about the attack and shared that Ronald Chand who attacked him yelled 'Jai Mata Di' after injuring him. Possibly an incident of Punjabi hate crime, Dhaliwal was attacked in the early hours on March 14. 


In an interaction with Hindustan Times, Aman Dhaliwal said, "He was weird. I noticed him and decided not to park close to him. I started doing my preparation for my workout in the car. Soon, he broke the rear left side’s window. As soon as I came out of the car without my shoes, he hit me with the axe. I asked him why are you attacking me. Before I could understand anything, he said something in Hindi: Jai Mata Di. I don’t want to make it Hindu versus any kind of it.”


At that moment, Dhaliwal added that he realized that the attacker was Indian. "My intention was to just stop him from doing this nonsense. Even if he is a psychopath, he is an Indian. If he goes to injure anyone else, the message that will go out is: ‘An Indian guy did the massacre and killed many people here’. It would be a negative message for the Indians staying here in the US. The idea of safeguarding my Hindustan’s name gave me courage to fight back,” the 'Ishq Ka Rang Safed' actor added.


Aman Dhaliwal was severely injured on his hand, neck and torso. He shared that he got 13 stitches in his hand, 13 in his neck and a few near his chest. "I believe God saved me, despite so much blood loss, I was able to stand," he recalled about the injury in the same interaction.


The video of the attack had earlier gone viral on social media. 


"If you notice, there was a chase and fight as he was running to injure others. I took him down and he kept stabbing me on my major organs.He was using me for their political agendas - the hate crime between Punjabi versus Hindus here. I’m not part of that game. He was a psychopath but at the same time he was well trained. He was talking to me in Hindi but when he went inside he started speaking English. And I have never met that guy," Dhaliwal added.


As per the 'Jodhaa Akbar' actor, no one from Chand's family has applied for bail as he is lodged in custody.
