Videos shared by news agency ANI have captured the moments before the firing and how Mr Badal reacted to the gunshot. The visuals show devotees passing through the gate as Mr Badal, serving sewadar duties after Akal Takht punished him for mistakes during the Akali Dal term from 2007-2017, sits on guard in a blue uniform and with a spear in hand. A man is seen approaching him slowly. He swiftly puts his hand in the pocket and takes a firearm out. A cop in plain clothes and standing next to Mr Badal spots the shooter in time and lunges towards him. The cop manages to grab the attacker's arm and push it upwards. When the bullet is fired, the trajectory misses everyone and hits the wall. Within seconds, other cops and devotees grab the shooter and take him away.
