Sidhu Moose Wala’s friend, who had suffered serious injuries in the firing incident on Sunday, has succumbed to his injuries. The deceased was one of the two people who were there in the SUV with the Punjabi singer when he was attacked with bullets by assailants.
On Sunday, Sidhu Moose Wala left his house around 4:30 pm along with Gurwinder Singh (neighbour) and Gurpreet Singh (cousin). The singer was driving the SUV. Punjab Director General of Police V K Bhawra said they reached Jawahar Ke village, they were followed by a car and were intercepted from the front by two vehicles.
The senior police officer further informed that 30 empty bullet shells have been recovered and at least three weapons like 9 mm and 455 bore appeared to have been used in the crime.
“There was heavy firing from the front on Sidhu Moosewala,” the DGP said, adding that the police team reached the spot immediately and rushed the all three of them to Civil Hospital Mansa where the singer was declared brought dead.
DGP Bhawra said the killing of popular singer Sidhu Moose Wala appeared to be the result of an inter-gang rivalry and that the Canadian Lawrence Bishnoi gang was involved in it. He further informed that a special investigation team (SIT) has been set up to investigate the incident.
The DGP said that the name of Moose Wala’s manager Shaganpreet had figured in the murder of youth Akali leader Vicky Middukhera last year. Shagunpreet had fled to Australia.
“This murder appeared to be in retaliation of Middukhera’s murder,” the top police officer said.
