Punjab Police has registered an FIR against unknown persons after singer Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Jawaharke village of Mansa district on Sunday.

The FIR has been registered under sections 302, 307, and 341 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 25 and 27 of the Arms Act at City-1 at Mansa Police Station.


Notably, CCTV footage has emerged on social media which shows two cars trailing Sidhu Moose Wala’s vehicle moments before he was shot dead in Mansa. The video, however, is not verified by the state police yet.

Meanwhile, Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar reportedly claimed responsibility for Moose Wala’s murder in a Facebook post on Sunday evening. Goldy Brar is a close aide of gang leader Lawrence Bishnoi, who is also said to be involved in the singer’s murder.


Brar aka Satinder Singh is involved in multiple criminal cases. A Faridpur court had earlier this month issued an open-ended non-bailable arrest warrant against Brar in connection with the killing of the district Youth Congress president, Gurlal Singh Pehalwan.

A huge force of Punjab Police has been deployed outside the residence of Moose Wala after the incident.

Punjab Police so far has said that preliminary investigation shows it to be an inter-gang rivalry.

Famous Punjabi singer Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu popularly known as Sidhu Moose Wala shot dead by unidentified assailants in Jawaharke village of Mansa district on Sunday evening. The incident occurred two days after Punjab Police withdrew the security cover of 424 persons including Sidhu Moose Wala.
