Punjab police had claimed in their filed petition that Lawrence Bishnoi is a key conspirator of singer Sidhu Moose Wala's murder.

Punjab Police had submitted that during the investigation of the murder case, the confessional statements of the arrested accused were recorded wherein it was clearly pointed out that Lawrence Bishnoi had tasked the co-accused to carry out the planned killing of Sidhu Moose Wala.

Meanwhile, a Punjab government release said that gangster Goldy Brar had claimed responsibility for Sidhu Moose Wala's murder on behalf of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

Last month, Haryana Police arrested four persons associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar gang. They recovered a large number of arms and ammunition from their possession in the Mahesh Nagar police station area of the district, as informed by the Ambala Superintendent of Police.
