On Christmas Day, a man armed with a crossbow used a rope ladder to gain access to Windsor Castle, the residence of Queen Elizabeth II. A 19-year-old is accused.
In a previously recorded video, which he posted on the social media platform Snapchat at 8:06 a.m., the intruder had announced the murder of the Queen. He was arrested 24 minutes later and has been under medical supervision ever since. The Queen got away with the horror.
The student Jaswant Singh Chail is said to be responsible for the shocking plan and the frightening clip, reports British media. Now the father of the 19-year-old man speaks about his son’s shocking plan.
Cruel video
In the clip, a masked man is handling a crossbow. “I will try to murder Elizabeth, Queen of the Royal Family,” says the figure in a distorted voice. It was revenge for the Amritsar massacre in 1919. At that time, British troops opened fire on demonstrators in the Indian city of Amritsar, and hundreds were killed. India used to be a British colony.
The British police said they were examining the recordings published by The Sun newspaper on Monday. Buckingham Palace did not want to comment on the incident.

HE is supposed to create the video and be responsible for the planned assassination attempt: Jaswant Singh Chail. According to the British Daily Mail, the suspect is the son of 57-year-old software engineer Jasbir Singh Chail. The teenager’s family environment is well-off, according to the Daily Mail, the family lives in a private estate in the village of North Baddesley in the county of Hampshire, which costs almost 600,000 euros.
In an interview with the British newspaper, father Jasbir Singh Chail first commented on the incidents. According to him, “something went terribly wrong” with his son, said the dismayed IT entrepreneur. “We’re trying to find out what that was.” Jasbir Singh Chail continues: “We haven’t had a chance to speak to him yet, but we’re trying to give him the help he needs. We are going through a difficult time – we are trying to solve this problem and it is not easy. “

“A bit strange and mostly very quiet”
Photos published by the newspaper show a lanky young man smiling uncertainly into the camera – an absolute contrast to the eerie video that Jaswant Singh Chail sent to acquaintances before he entered the palace.
His classmates describe the 19-year-old as a “lateral head” who liked to try to make others laugh with “inappropriate jokes”. One student said of Jaswant Singh Chail, whom his friends only called Jas: “He was always a bit strange and mostly very quiet.”

The Queen narrowly escaped the attack
The intruder had come within the castle walls to within 500 meters of the private apartments of the Queen before he was arrested, reported the British “Sun”. One security officer stated that the armed man “didn’t really know what to do” and could therefore be quickly arrested.
Despite the incident, heir to the throne Prince Charles (73) and his wife, Duchess Camilla (74), and the youngest Queen’s son Prince Edward (57) visited with his wife, Princess Sophie (56), and their two children on Christmas Day Church service on the grounds of the Queen’s residence.
