Sidhu Moosewala Shot Dead: Here are the Key Updates

• Everyday murders are happening, police seem hopeless & there’s no direction to them. Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder is a political murder. CM Bhagwant Mann should resign. He is accountable for that: Punjab LoP & Congress leader Partap Singh Bajwa
• The attackers have left their car. Teams are after them. We are hopeful that they will be arrested soon. SIT has been constituted to arrest the culprits. We’ve got some important leads and investigation is underway: Pradeep Kumar Yadav, IGP Faridkot Range
• We’ll see if his friends are involved in murder case or not because they were the only ones aware of him moving without security. Police will investigate the case from every angle. But this needs to be thought upon as on whose advice he left without security: Saurabh Bharadwaj
• We’re shocked on the murder of Sidhu Moose Wala. This shouldn’t have happened. Stringent punishment will be given to the persons involved. He had two security guards from Punjab police but was travelling in his car without them when he was murdered: AAP MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj
• Sidhu Moose Wala had a private bulletproof car that he didn’t take with him. On the orders of the CM, IG range has been directed to form an SIT. 3 weapons were used. SSP Mansa & SSP Bathinda deployed there. ADG law & order has mobilised additional forces: VK Bhawra, DGP, Punjab
• Lawrence Bishnoi gang is involved in this murder. Lucky, member of the gang has taken responsibility from Canada. He had 4 commandos from Punjab Police out of which 2 was taken back but he was having two commandos which Moose Wala didn’t take along with him today: DGP Punjab
• After leaving his home when Sidhu Moose Wala was driving his car along with two others in Mansa district, 2 cars came from front & firing took place. He was injured & was taken to hospital where he was brought dead. It seems like an inter-gang rivalry: VK Bhawra, DGP, Punjab
• Punjab DGP must be arrested. The central govt must intervene immediately. Issue related to security comes under the Official Secrets Act & it shouldn’t have been disclosed: Former Punjab Deputy CM & Congress leader Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Sidhu Moose Wala murder
• Preliminary investigation shows it to be an inter-gang rivalry. Sidhu Moose Wala didn’t take his bulletproof car and gunman today. FIR is being registered. We will take immediate action against the gangster and persons involved: Gaurav Toora, SSP, Mansa
• Two cars intercepted Sidhu Moose Wala’s car which followed heavy firing in which Sidhu Moose Wala received multiple bullet injuries. Persons present with him also got bullet injuries and they have been referred to Patiala for further treatment: Gaurav Toora, SSP, Mansa
• Since their govt came, the law and order situation & peace of Punjab has seen a downward trend. CM Bhagwant Mann must be held accountable for the deteriorating situation in the state. He should focus on the problems of Punjab: Congress leader Jaiveer Shergill
• Broad daylight killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala shows that law & order situation in Punjab under AAP govt is crumbling like pack of cards. Violent clashes in Patiala, attack on state police & rise in murder have become business as usual:Congress leader Jaiveer Shergill

My mind has gone completely numb after hearing news about #sidhumoosewala

• “Sidhu Moosewala was a very humble person. This is very unfortunate”: Hans Raj Han tells NDTV

Blast at Punjab Police’s Intelligence HQ on 9/05/22. Pakistan based Khalistan terrorists arrest on 5/05/22 and now cold blooded public execution of #sidhumoosewala. Are these signs of revival of Khalistan terrorism after AAP Govt resumed power in Punjab? Shocking.
