Sidhu Moose Wala, born as Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, died at 28. He was shot dead on May 29 this year by unidentified assailants in Mansa in Punjab, a day after the state government curtailed his security cover. He was declared brought dead on arrival at the Mansa civil hospital. The killers fired over 30 rounds at him.

Sidhu had the most number-one singles on the Billboard India Songs chart. His debut album PBX 1 ranked 66 on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart. His single 47 also ranked on the UK Singles Chart. He was also named among 50 up and coming artists by The Guardian in 2020.

He had fought an election from Mansa in the last assembly election on a Congress ticket, but was defeated by AAP’s Vijay Singla.

The investigation reportedly found Lawrence Bishnoi was the mastermind of the daylight killing. His close aide Goldy Brar, who is said to be based in Canada, is also under investigation in this case. Police have issued a Red Corner Notice against Brar through Interpol. Last week, the security of 12 officers of Delhi Police’s Special Cell, who have been involved in solving the murder case, was increased and they were allotted Y-category protection, Delhi Police have said. Many Indian and international artists are demanding justice for the late rapper.
