Sidhu Moose Wala, a musician from Punjab, was killed in a shooting.
On Sunday, Shubdeep Singh Sidhu Moose Wala, a Punjabi artist, and Congress leader, was fatally murdered near Mansa. The 27-year-old was shot at least ten times near a temple in the village of Jhawahar Ke and was certified dead at Mansa’s Civil Hospital.
An unidentified assassin shot and killed famous Punjabi musician Sidhu Moosewala on Sunday in Punjab’s Mansa district, a day after the state government revoked his security cover.
Moosewala, 27, was traveling in a jeep with two pals when he was attacked in the village of Jawahar Ke, according to Deputy Superintendent of Police (Mansa) Gobinder Singh.
Moosewala was brought dead to the civic hospital in Mansa, according to civil surgeon Ranjeet Rai. The two other people who were shot have been referred to a different hospital, he said.
In the recent assembly election, he ran on the Congress ticket from the Mansa assembly constituency but was beaten by AAP’s Vijay Singla.
The Punjab Police withdrew security from 424 persons on Saturday, including Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, often known as Sidhu Moosewala.
The shooting of Moosewala elicited shock and outrage from Congress and other political leaders, who condemned the Aam Aadmi Party government for withdrawing his security cover.
No one implicated in the heinous crime would be spared, according to Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, who also asked for calm.
“The terrible murder of Siddhu Moosewala has shocked and grieved me. There will be no exceptions. My heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to his family and followers all across the world. In a tweet, Mann added, “I ask everyone to remain calm.”
Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, the Punjab Congress chairman who was instrumental in bringing Moosewala into the party, said he was “shocked beyond comprehension and expression” and urged that the Aam Aadmi Party government be dismissed.

Moose Wala has run for a seat in the Assembly on a ticket presented by the Congress party in Mansa. A total of 63,323 more votes were cast for Dr. Vijay Singla of the AAP, who ultimately emerged victorious. Moose Wala is a native of Moosa, a hamlet located in the Mansa region. In November of the previous year, he became a member of the Congress amidst considerable excitement. As a result of Congress allocating him a seat in the Mansa Assembly constituency, the incumbent Mansa MLA at the time, Nazar Singh Manshahia, defected from the party and said that he would oppose the controversial singer’s candidacy.

Who is Sidhu Moose Wala?
Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, also known as Sidhu Moose Wala, was born on June 17, 1993, and he is a resident of the Moose Wala hamlet in the Mansa region. As a result of his successful rap career, Moose Wala amassed a fan base that numbered in the millions.
Moose Wala was an electrical engineer by training and possessed a degree in the field. After attending college for a while, he relocated to Canada and continued his musical education there.
Sidhu Moose Wala was also considered as one of the most controversial Punjabi artists due to the fact that he openly supported the culture of gun ownership and glorified gangsters in his incendiary songs. The song ‘Jatti Jeonay Morh Di Bandook Wargi,’ which he published in September 2019, is at the centre of a controversy since it makes a reference to Mai Bhago, a Sikh fighter from the 18th century. It was said that he portrayed this Sikh warrior in an unfavourable manner. After some time passed, Moose Wala expressed his regret.
