A British-Sikh crossbow-armed intruder who has admitted to committing treason after telling royal guards on Christmas Day 2021 that he was there to kill Queen Elizabeth II was inspired by ‘Star Wars’, a court hearing in London was told on Wednesday. Jaswant Singh Chail, 21, who identified himself as an “Indian Sikh” and wanted to “assassinate” the late monarch as revenge for the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre in Amritsar in a social media video that emerged soon after his arrest, is facing a two-day sentencing hearing at the Old Bailey court in London. Earlier this year, Chail admitted to an offence under the UK’s treason act at the same court and is expected to be sentenced on Thursday.
