Early Times Report
Jammu, May 29: The broad daylight murder of world-famous Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moosewalla is likely to take a new turn in Punjab politics because the singer became a victim of “politics of vendetta”.
The AAP government led by comedian-turned-politician Bhagwant Singh Mann has curtailed the security of 424 persons on Saturday only and Moosewala was among them.
Within hours after the Punjab government curtailed his security, Shubdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moosewalla was shot dead in the Mansa district of Punjab.
He was shot dead in Jawaharke village of Mansa district where he had gone to attend a function. The singer was driving his vehicle during the attack.
He was reportedly shot at least 10 times near a temple in the village Jhawahar Ke and was declared brought dead at the Civil Hospital in Mansa.
Quoting authorities of Mansa Hospital, some news agencies reported that three people were brought to the hospital, out of which Sidhu Moosewalla was dead.
After giving primary treatment, the two injured have been referred to a higher institute for further treatment.
Initial reports said that bullets hit Moosewala while he was in his Mahindra Thar, which he was driving. Sidhu Moosewala had left his village Moosa with his companions and was going to meet some known person.
A native of Moose village of Mansa district, Sidhu Moosewala was very popular among the youth of Punjab. Reports said that Moosewala was among the 424 persons whose security was withdrawn by Punjab Police on Saturday.
Sidhu Moosewalla had contested the 2022 Punjab assembly elections from the Mansa assembly constituency as a candidate of the Congress party.
He was defeated by Aam Aadmi Party (AAP’s) candidate Dr. Vijay Singla with a margin of 63,323 votes. To encash his popularity among the youth, the then Punjab Congress chief and the cricketer-turned-politician Navjot Singh Sidhu had convinced him to join Congress. On December 3, 2021, Sidhu Moosewalla joined Congress with much fanfare.
Moosewala was booked in multiple cases by the Punjab police for promoting gun culture and glorifying violence in his songs.
Moosewala was booked by the Punjab police in 2020 under the Arms Act on charges of promoting violence and gun culture in one of his songs. Before that, he was booked in another case after photographs of him firing an AK47 rifle at a firing range during the Covid-19 pandemic went viral on social media.
Moosewalla had a vast fan following across the world
The 28-year-old singer had a vast fan following among Punjabis living in different parts of the world.
Born on 17 June 1993, the singer widely known for his gangster raps, learnt music during his college days. He was moved to Canada after doing a degree in electrical engineering. |
