Famous Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala was publicly murdered on Sunday evening. On Jawaharke road in Mansa district, the attackers opened fire on Moosewala with AK-47s. A day prior, the Punjab government had withdrawn Sidhu Musewala's security, and two of the four security personnel were called back.
Retaliatory Murder of Sidhu Moosewala
The murder of Sidhu Moosewala appears to be a retaliatory killing in the inter-gang rivalry between Larwance Bishnoi gang and Lucky Patial gang. Three shooters – Sunny, Anil Lath, and Bholu, all residents of Haryana have been arrested by Delhi Police Special Cell in connection with the murder of Vicky Midhukhera in Mohali.
Shaganpreet, Manager of Sidhu Moosewala nominated as the accused in the FIR registered regarding the murder of Vicky Midhukhera. Shaganpreet has escaped to Australia and is wanted by the police.
Gangster Goldy Brar has taken the responsibility for killing Sidhu Musewala. Goldy Brar is currently living in Canada. Punjab DGP VK Bhavra said in a press conference that Brar and jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi were responsible for Moosewala's murder.
Three hours after the murder, Goldy Brar took responsibility for the murder by posting it on Facebook. He wrote that Musewala's name had come up in the murder of my friend, but due to his high influence, he was not held accountable and the government did not punish him, so they did the murder.
Who is Goldy Brar?
Satinder Singh best known as Goldy Brar is considered a special henchman of Lawrence Bishnoi. Last year, a court in Faridkot district had issued an open-ended non-bailable warrant against Brar in connection with the murder of Youth Congress leader Gurlal Singh Pehalwan. Pahalwal, 34, was gunned down by two unidentified miscreants.
Goldy Brar's name is also in a double murder case of two brothers named Paramjeet and Surjeet in Gurugram. In March this year, Delhi Police arrested two sharpshooters of Kala Jathedi, Lawrence Bishnoi, and Naresh Sethi’s gang.
On May 2, the Anti-Gangster Task Force of Punjab Police arrested Lawrence Bishnoi and three associates of Goldy Brar from Bathinda. They were planning to kill a businessman from the Malwa region for not paying extortion.
Who is Lawrence Bishnoi?
The Special Cell of Delhi Police had last year imposed the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA) on gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. The police had filed a charge sheet in a case related to running the Interstate Syndicate. Lawrence Bishnoi, who was once a student leader, formed the first gang in the college. At least 25 serious cases are registered against him. The Bishnoi gang, spread over at least six states, includes more than 600 criminals.
In 2016, Bishnoi was accused of killing a Congress leader. He had claimed responsibility for the murder through Facebook. But Lawrence Bishnoi got recognition in 2018. Bishnoi as well as Sampat Nehra, against whom the charge sheet was filed by the Delhi Police, was nabbed from Bengaluru in June 2018.
Lawrence Bishnoi is planning to take a big leap in 2020. He planned to join hands with local gangsters of every state to form a crime syndicate at the national level. The aim was to control the underworld in North India. This is the reason why Bishnoi joined hands with gangsters Kala Jathedi and Naresh Sethi.
According to a source, they target Bollywood celebrities, Punjabi singers, and actors.
Bishnoi is purportedly in a relationship with international drug trafficker Amandeep Multani. Multani is linked with Mexican drug cartels. He was arrested by the US agency in April this year. Bishnoi's second international contact was Monty, who lived in the UK and had links with the Italian mafia.
