Bimla Kaur, the grandmother of Vickrum Digwa, has publicly addressed the devastating impact of her grandson's conviction for the murder of student Henry Nowak. Digwa, 23, received a life sentence after fatally stabbing Nowak and falsely claiming he was attacked due to his race. Kaur lamented that the incident has 'destroyed two families' and revealed that her family now lives in fear of retaliation, with some members forced into hiding. She defended her son, Kiran Kaur, who faces charges for allegedly aiding Digwa by concealing the murder weapon, stating that she acted as any mother would to protect her child. Kaur emphasized that while Digwa was part of the Nihang Sikh order, known for its martial traditions, his actions were a betrayal of their values. The family is facing threats and has experienced attacks on their home, leading to a temporary closure of their business in Southampton. Kaur expressed pride in their heritage but acknowledged the tragedy of the situation, stating, 'These weapons are not meant to be used on the innocent.'
