Sidhu Moosewala shot dead

A day after Punjabi singer and politician Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead by assailants in Mansa, Republic Media Network accessed the CCTV footage which captured the moment of the attack. The clip saw Sidhu Moosewala's jeep being fired upon by assailants near Jawaharke village. The video saw how the singer's Thar vehicle was being trailed by two cars - a white Bolero and a dark Grey Scorpio - and shortly after they take a turn, a heavy firing took place which is heard in the background. 

Following the murder of the 28-year-old, Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar took responsibility for the murder after which two gangsters were arrested in Moga in connection with the case. Meanwhile, amid political pressure, Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann has announced a judicial probe into the incident.
