Sidhu Moose Wala murder: From politicians to celebrities, condolences pour in for Punjabi singer

Singer turned politician Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead at by unknown people in Punjab’s Mansa district on Sunday. Three people were injured in the firing incident.

According to a report by ANI, Punjab Director-General of Police VK Bhawra on Sunday informed that the jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang was involved in Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder. Gang member- Lucky, has taken responsibility for the murder.

The 28-year-old singer’s murder in broad daylight has caused widespread outrage across political spectrum and Indian cinema industry, especially as the incident took place a day after Moose Wala’s security was withdrawn by the Punjab police.

‘Blood on CM’s hands’

As per ANI, Congress condoled the demise of the party leader and Punjabi singer. The Punjab unit of the party hit out at the Aam Aadmi Party government in the state calling it “insensitive and inexperienced” and alleging “blood on Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann’s hands”.

Heartbreaking that Sidhu Mossewala Ji’s security was revoked just 2 days ago as a publicity stunt by insensitive & inexperienced @AamAadmiParty regime. The state’s of law and order is appalling.

CM & DGP have blood on their hands.

I only knew #SidhuMoosewala through his music, yet the news of his demise has cut deep. India has very few authentic modern artists. He was right on top of that list.

I'm without words. He's a legend, his voice, his courage & his words will never be forgotten.
