New Delhi: Sidhu Moose Wala, a popular musician from Punjab, was killed by gunfire on Sunday evening in the Mansa region of the province of Punjab. The murder of the singer seems to have been the result of a conflict between two or more competing gangs; the notorious criminal Lawrence Bishnoi is also a suspect in the case.
The family of the 28 years old singer wanted his last rituals to take place on the ancestral farmland in the Moosa village in the Mansa region.
The deceased corpse of Moose Wala was transported to his residence under tight security precautions. The doors of his ancestral home were locked by the police, and the only people who were permitted to enter were members of his immediate family and close friends. A large crowd had gathered outside the home.
During this time, a large number of people came to pay their respects to Moosewala at his home in Mansa. These mourners included villagers, prominent singers such as Gurdas Mann, and political leaders. Among those in attendance were Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring and MLA Sukhjinder Randhawa.
People who gathered to bid farewell to Sidhu Moose Wala raised slogans against the AAP government in Punjab demanding a special enquiry into the singer's murder.
Despite the fact that the investigation of Moose Wala’s murder is still ongoing concurrently, the police have said that they have identified the culprits. But as of yet, there have been no arrests that can be considered substantial. The police have indicated that they have various leads, and they are now in contact with the authorities of the other states in order to apprehend the suspect.
