In a post on X, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, a lawyer and leader for Sikhs for Justice, described the shooting as an assassination attempt on Satinder Pal Singh Raju. He shared a video showing at least four bullet holes in the driver's window of Raju's truck, emphasizing the serious nature of the incident and the belief within the Sikh community that it was targeted violence aimed at Raju, a vocal supporter of the Khalistan movement.
Raju is identified as a Sacramento-area leader of the Khalistan movement, which advocates for Sikhs to establish a separate nation from India. The movement has been a source of tension between the Sikh community and the Indian government over the years, as the latter has resisted calls for independence, making the shooting a deeply concerning act for those advocating for Sikh rights and sovereignty.
