About Sidhu Moosewala
Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead in Punjab’s Mansa on May 29, 2022. His final song, “SYL,” was released posthumously in June 2022. Following his death, Punjab police accused Canada-based singer Goldy Brar and gangster Lawrence Bishnoi of orchestrating the murder. Reports indicated that over 30 rounds were fired at Moosewala, who was found slumped in the driver’s seat.
His death led to significant political fallout in Punjab, including calls for the dismissal of the Bhagwant Mann government. This incident occurred shortly after his security was reduced. Sidhu Moosewala, who had contested the 2019 assembly election from Mansa on a Congress ticket, was defeated by AAP’s Vijay Singla. He is survived by his parents, Balkaur Singh and Charan Kaur.
Family Update
Earlier this year, Sidhu Moosewala’s parents welcomed a baby boy, naming him Shubhdeep in honor of Sidhu. His real name was Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu.
