Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead
The singer turned politician, Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead by unidentified assailants in the Jawaharke village of Mansa district on Sunday, May 29. A CCTV video footage showed two cars trailing the singer’s Thar jeep minutes before the shooting.
The incident occurs a day after the Punjab Police withdrew the security of 424 people, including Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala. The 28-year-old had contested this year’s Punjab assembly election on a Congress ticket from Mansa and was defeated by AAP candidate Vijay Singla by a huge margin of 63,000 votes. Vijay Singla was recently sacked by Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann over charges of corruption.
