His car was sprayed with bullets, and Sidhu was found slumped on his seat. He was immediately taken to Mansa Civil Hospital but doctors declared him dead on arrival.Mr Bhawra said that Sidhu’s manager Shagunpreet Singh’s name had surfaced in the murder case of Shiromani Akali Dal leader Vicky Middukhera last year. Middukhera was shot dead at a market in Mohali on 7 August 2021.
The incident has led to a backlash against the AAP state government, which on Saturday withdrew security cover for a total of 424 people, including politicians, religious leaders, socio-religious heads and retired police officers, as a part of its efforts to end “VIP culture” – which privileges VIPs above ordinary citizens.
The state opposition has accused the AAP of not conducting proper threat assessments before implementing the move. Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal also asked whether “the cheaply populist decision to withdraw Moosewala’s security” was responsible for the tragedy.Chief minister Bhagwant Mann had offered his condolences to Sidhu’s family and assured that “nobody will be spared” as he appealed for peace and calm.This content is not available due to your privacy preferences.
