New Delhi: Punjab Director-General of Police VK Bhawra on Sunday said that jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's gang was involved in Sidhu Moosewala's murder. Gang member Lucky, has taken responsibility for the murder, reported news agency ANI. Addressing a press conference, the DGP said that a Special Investigation Team has been constituted to probe the matter, quoted by the news agency. "Lawrence Bishnoi gang is involved in this murder. Lucky, a member of the gang has taken responsibility from Canada. Three weapons were used," the DGP said.
"He had four commandos from Punjab Police out of which two were taken back but he was having two commandos which Moose Wala didn't take along with him today. Sidhu Moose Wala had a private bulletproof car that he didn't take with him," he added.
"After leaving his home, when Sidhu Moose Wala was driving his car along with two others in Mansa district, two cars came from front and firing took place. He was injured and was taken to hospital where he was brought dead. It seems like an inter-gang rivalry. On the orders of the Chief Minister, the Inspector General range has been directed to form a Special Investigation Team. SSP Mansa and SSP Bathinda have been deployed there. ADG law and order has mobilised additional forces," Bhawra said.
Singer Sidhu Moosewala was shot in Punjab’s Mansa on Sunday and was brought dead to the hospital, said Ranjeet Rai, civil surgeon at Mansa Hospital.
The Congress leader was shot dead a day after AAP-led Punjab government had withdrawn security provided to him.
