Indian-origin father of intruder at Windsor Castle speaks of ‘horribly wrong’ incident

58-year-old Jasbir Chail, the boy’s father, said that his family is going through a tough time. He says something has gone horribly wrong with their son and they are trying to get him the help he needs.

The Indian-origin father of a 19-year-old boy, being held under the UK’s Mental Health Act after being arrested for intruding the grounds of Queen Elizabeth II’s Windsor Castle with a crossbow, has spoken of the family’s anguish over the incident.

Jasbir Chail, 58, said that his son Jaswant needed help after he scaled the walls of the castle in Berkshire, south-east England, on Christmas Day while the 95-year-old monarch was in residence.
