The incident took place a day after his security was withdrawn by the Punjab police as per orders of the Government.

A Canadian gangster of Punjabi origin, identified as Satinder Singh, claimed responsibility for the murder. Brar, a close associate of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi claimed that his “Punjab Module” (gang) carried out the shooting. Both Brar and Bishnoi have criminal cases against them in India. Subsequently in the FIR, Moose Wala’s father revealed that Sidhu was receiving death threats from gangsters for extortion purposes, a statement corroborated by singer Mika Singh.

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwat Mann condemned the murder. Calling Moose Wala “a cultural icon of Punjab” he expressed shock and grief on his death and condoled the aggrieved family. Mann ordered an investigation into why Moose Wala’s security was reduced by the Punjab police two days prior. He also announced setting up of a judicial commission headed by a sitting judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court to investigate the killing.

Did India’s Hindu Government killed Sidhu?

Sidhu Moose wala’s security was removed as per government orders before a day after he died.

Many people have accused the India’s regime of having an involvement in the death of Sidhu Moosewala as he always spoke against the barbaric atrocities of BJP/RSS Government on minorities.

BJP/RSS Government was not happy with the Sidhu Moosewala as he had huge fan following and he supported the Khalistan freedom movement and Khalistan freedom fighters. Hindu regimes of India always tried to prove Hindu’s dominant over minorities. In 1984 many innocent Sikhs were killed by Hindu regime of India as they demanded their rights.
