60-80 People Wanted To Kill Him, 8 Attempts Made To Kill Him During Polls: Sidhu’s Father

Mumbai: Balkaur Singh said that during the Punjab Assembly elections in April, several attempts were made to attack Sidhu Moose Wala and the Aam Aadmi Party-led state government left no stone unturned to downplay his security and withdraw his security.

“Sixty to eighty people were after him (Sidhu Moose Wala) to kill him. Efforts were made at least eight more times during the elections to kill him. The government too left no stone unturned, withdrew his security and publicized it,” Balkaur Singh said on Monday.

Singer Sidhu Moose Wala, 28, was shot dead near his village in Mansa on May 29, a day after his security was cut by the newly formed Bhagwant Mann government.

Speaking at the inaugural function of one, Singh said, “Gangsters (in Punjab) are running a parallel government. Youth are dying. Vicky Middukheda was avenged, tomorrow someone will do it for Sidhu. But it is our houses being destroyed,” Singh said.

The murder of Moosewala saw several arrests. Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, the mastermind in the case, is under police remand till July 6.

A special cell of the Delhi Police recently apprehended two most wanted criminals of the Lawrence Bishnoi-Goldy Brar Gang. One of the arrested, Ankit was one of the shooters involved in the Sidhu Moose Wala killing and in two other heinous cases of attempts to murder in Rajasthan.
