Sidhu Moosewala Killed: People protest on roads against government

The Congress on Sunday expressed shock over the murder of popular Punjabi singer-turned-politician Sidhu Moosewala in broad daylight, alleging that the law and order situation is crumbling in Punjab.

In less than 24 hours after his security cover was curtailed by the Punjab government, Moosewala, who enjoyed a huge fan base, was shot dead by gangsters close to his ancestral village in Mansa in broad daylight. He was 29. He had unsuccessfully contested the Assembly polls in Punjab earlier this year on a Congress ticket.
