Sidhu Moose Killed: Father writes to Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, demands central probe

The Mansa Police Station on Monday lodged an FIR based on a complaint by Sidhu Moose Wala's father Balkaur Singh after the famous Punjabi singer was shot dead by assailants in Punjab's Mansa district on Sunday, a day after the state government curtailed his security cover. Moose Wala was accompanied by Gurwinder Singh (neighbour) and Gurpreet Singh (cousin) in a Mahindra Thar jeep. Both were injured in the attack suspected to be a fallout of inter-gang rivalry. In the recent Punjab election, the singer had unsuccessfully contested from the Mansa seat as a Congress candidate. Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring on Monday reached the residence of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala in Moosa village.
