On Sunday, May 29, 2022, Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala was murdered in Punjab's Mansa district.
Moosewala was travelling along with friends in a jeep when his killers reportedly trapped him and shot him several times at Jawahar Ke village.
The Bhagwant Mann government in Punjab had reduced the singer's security detail from four to two bodyguards the day before the killing.
Moosewala -- who seems to have a huge following, given the fact that a memorial billboard was put up outside a garden in Mumbai's Lokhandwala Complex area on Monday -- had asked his bodyguards to stay home and decided to drive the jeep himself. Though he is reported to have a bulletproof vehicle, he did not take that car. CCTV footage revealed two cars following him.
Goldy Brar -- a Canada-based gangster -- and dreaded gangster Lawrence Bishnoi -- currently in Tihar jail -- claimed responsibility for the slaying.
