The singer had joined Congress in December last year. In the 2022 Punjab Assembly elections, Sidhu Moose Wala had contested from Mansa on a Congress ticket. He was defeated by Aam Aadmi Party’s Dr. Vijay Singla, who was expelled from the party and later arrested last week over corruption charges.
Punjab police said that the attack seemed to be due to a gang war. Police also said that a Canada-based gangster has claimed responsibility for the attack.
“Lawrence Bishnoi gang is involved in this murder. Lucky, member of the gang has taken responsibility from Canada,” Punjab DGP VK Bhawra told the media. He said the name of Moose Wala’s manager Shaganpreet had figured in the murder of one Vicky Middukhera last year.
