Sidhu Moose Wala, a Punjabi singer who had joined the Congress before the Punjab elections, was killed by gangsters on Sunday in an attack near his ancestral village Jawaharke in district Mansa, Punjab.
According to police, Sidhu appeared to have received more than eight bullet wounds and was taken to the Mansa civil hospital, where he died.
Six people have been detained in connection with the murder, according to reports.
According to police, Sidhu Moose Wala's murder was the result of "inter-gang rivalry." Goldy Brar, a Canadian-based associate of Punjab's Lawrence Bishnoi gang, has allegedly claimed responsibility. The primary suspect in the murder was Goldy Brar. He reportedly fled to Canada soon after in 2021.
Sidhu's father has demanded the probe through a sitting judge of the high court, handing over investigations to CBI or NIA.
