ADGP Arpit Shukla revealed that in the latest release, Moosewala gave a reference of the arms case registered against Sanjay Dutt. Shukla added that in the video of the song Sanju, the singer even put news stories published against the actor.

Sidhu Moosewala was booked by Barnala police after the video where he was brandishing an AK-47 in the presence of cops. Moosewala compared himself with Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt by showcasing his cases. 

ADGP Shukla said that a team of police analysed the lyrics and video of the song and felt he promoted and glorified the possession and usage of illegal arms. Shukla said that despite facing cases, Mossewala undermined the judiciary as well as police. 

ADGP Shukla said that this is not the first case against Sidhu, and it seemed he was making a 'mockery of the system.' The officer also said that Punjab police will approach Punjab and Haryana High Court against the anticipatory bail granted to Sidhu Moosewala.
