He was shot dead by unidentified assailants on 29 May 2022; a Canada-based gangster named Goldy Brar and a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility for the killing, which the police said was the culmination of an inter-gang rivalry.[14] On 23 June 2022, his first posthumous single, "SYL", was released.

Moose Wala's lyrics and themes were often seen as controversial in India, and he was accused of promoting gun culture and his Jat background, [15] Subsequently, he had faced legal challenges for his support of gun culture and his inflammatory lyrics.[16]

Acting

Moose Wala made his debut in Punjabi cinema with the film Yes I Am Student under his own production company Jatt Life Studios.[61] The film was directed by Tarnvir Singh Jagpal and written by Gill Raunta.[62] In 2019, Moose Wala appeared in Teri Meri Jodi.[63] In June 2020, he announced another film titled Gunah.[64] On 22 August 2021, he released the teaser of his upcoming movie, Moosa Jatt, starring Sweetaj Brar and directed by Tru Makers.[65] On 24 August 2021, he announced his new film Jattan Da Munda Gaun Lagya, directed by Amberdeep Singh, which was set for release on 18 March 2022.[66]

Personal life

Moose Wala lived in his home village of Moosa, which his fans often visited to meet him.[67] He was very attached to his grandmother and kept his hair at her request, which is very important in Sikhism; his father could not keep his hair due to an accident.[68]

Feuds

Moose Wala had a rivalry with Karan Aujla; both have replied to each other through songs, on social media, and in live performances.[69] Both have also been criticised for songs promoting violence.[70] In an interview their mutual colleague Elly Mangat disclosed that the dispute between them began when Moose Wala's video targeting Aujla in his song was leaked to Aujla's management, and they threatened to attack Moose Wala. Following the incident, both started targeting each other on social media.[71] The rivalry was resolved temporarily until Aujla released a diss track, "Lafaafe", which Moose Wala responded to with "Warning Shots". Aujla in an interview stated that he did not write the track "Lafaafe" and did not reveal anything about their rivalry, but praised Moose Wala's work. After his death, Aujla paid tribute with the song "Maa".[72]

Legal issues and controversies

At the time of his death, Moose Wala was facing criminal charges for promoting gun culture and violence. Two of the charges were related to obscene scenes.[73]

In May 2020, two videos featuring him went viral on social media: one showed him training to use an AK-47 with assistance from police officers,[74] and the other showed him using a personal pistol.[75] The six officers who had assisted him were suspended following the incident.[76] On 19 May, he was booked under two sections of the Arms Act.[77] The police began conducting raids to find Moose Wala, but he hid to evade arrest.[78] [79] [80] On 2 June, the Barnala District Court rejected a plea for anticipatory bail for Moose Wala and five accused officers.[81]

On 6 June 2020, Moose Wala was fined by police in Nabha because his car windows were tinted darker than what was permissible, and he was allowed to leave despite being wanted on outstanding charges; he incorrectly told the officers that he was already out on bail.[82] In July, he joined the police investigation and was granted regular bail.[83] That month, he released a single titled "Sanju", comparing himself to actor Sanjay Dutt, who was also arrested under the Arms Act.[84] Indian sport shooter Avneet Sidhu criticised the song and called out Moose Wala for promoting gun culture.[85] [86] The next day, a case was registered against him for releasing the song.[87] In an interview, Moose Wala alleged that he was being deliberately targeted by some news channels and lawyers.[88]

References to Mai Bhago

In September 2019, his song "Jatti Jeone Morh Wargi" was deemed inappropriate by Sikh leaders for using the name of Mai Bhago, a 17th-century Sikh warrior woman.[89] [90] Sikh delegations and Akali Dal leaders demanded a ban on the song, subsequently lodging complaints against Moose Wala in Mansa and Bathinda. Moose Wala later apologised on social media and in March 2020 appeared before the Sikh religious body Akal Takht in a hearing over the incident.

References to Khalistan movement

In December 2020, Moose Wala released the single "Panjab: My Motherland" in support of the Indian farmers protest against the 2020 Indian agriculture acts, which featured clips of orthodox Sikh militant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and speeches made by Khalistan supporter Bharpur Singh Balbir in the late 1980s.[91] [92] [93] In an interview Moose Wala said that Khalistan means a 'pure place', like it was under the rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, where people of all religions lived in harmony.[94]

Politics

Moose Wala actively campaigned for his mother, Charan Kaur, who won the sarpanch election for Moosa in December 2018.[95]

On 3 December 2021, Moose Wala joined the INC to contest the 2022 Punjab Legislative Assembly election.[96] [97] Nazar Singh Manshahia, the INC assemblyman from Mansa, revolted and opposed Moose Wala's candidacy.[98] Obtaining only 20.52% votes from the Mansa constituency, Moose Wala lost to the Aam Aadmi Party's Vijay Singla by a margin of 63,323 votes.[99]

During the 2022 election, a case under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code was filed against Moose Wala for his violation of the election code of conduct. He had held a door-to-door campaign in Mansa after the campaigning deadline.[100]

On 11 April 2022, Moose Wala released a song titled "Scapegoat", in which he laments his failure in the 2022 elections.[101] The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) claimed that Moose Wala insinuated through his song that the voters of Punjab were gadara for electing the AAP. They also claimed that his song perpetuated the INC's "anti-Punjab" mentality and demanded an answer from the party's state unit president, Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, on whether he endorsed Moose Wala's views.[102]

Assassination of Sidhu Moose Wala
Location:Jawaharke Village, Mansa, Punjab, India
Target:Sidhu Moose Wala
Type:Murder by drive-by shooting, assassination
Time:5:30 p.m.
Timezone:IST
Perpetrators:Unconfirmed
Accused:Lawrence Bishnoi
Goldy Brar
Fatalities:1 (Sidhu Moose Wala)
Injuries:2

Moose Wala was shot dead by unidentified assailants in his car on 29 May 2022 in Jawaharke village of Mansa at age of 28. According to police, Lawrence Bishnoi's gang initially claimed responsibility for the murder in an unverified Facebook post, which Bishnoi denied making,[103] and he was being held by the Punjab Police and was considered the "mastermind" of the murder by officials.[104] [105]

According to police, at around 5:10pm, Moose Wala left his house with his cousin Gurpreet Singh and neighbour Gurwinder Singh. Moose Wala was driving his black Mahindra Thar SUV to his aunt's house in Barnala. At 5:30pm when the SUV reached Jawaharke, two other cars intercepted and blocked it. Thirty rounds were fired during the incident, which also injured two other men.[106] Moose Wala fired back at the attackers using his pistol. After the shootout, the attackers left the scene. His father took Moose Wala to the civil hospital in Mansa, where he was declared dead.

Moose Wala was among the 424 people whose police security was reduced or entirely removed the day before, in preparation for the anniversary of Operation Blue Star, leaving him with two commandos instead of the earlier four.[107] [108] At the time of the incident, Moose Wala was travelling in his private car accompanied by two others instead of his bullet-proof vehicle with the commandos.[109] [110] According to his friends, Moose Wala did not take his security along with him, as his Thar SUV could not accommodate five people.[111]

Aftermath

According to police, the Bishnoi gang claimed they killed Moose Wala to avenge the murder of an Akali leader, Vicky Middukhera, in 2021. Moose Wala's aide was purported by the Bishnoi gang of having a role in the killing of Middukhera, though there is no legal evidence to support this.[112] Canadian gangster of Punjabi origin Satinder Singh Goldy Brar claimed responsibility for the murder. Brar, a close associate of Bishnoi, claimed that his "Punjab module" carried out the shooting. Both Brar and Bishnoi have criminal cases against them in India. The Punjab Police later confirmed Bishnoi's involvement.[113] [114] [115]

According to the police report, Moose Wala's father revealed that Moose Wala had been receiving death threats from gangsters for extortion purposes, a statement corroborated by singer Mika Singh.[116]

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann condemned the murder. Calling Moose Wala "a cultural icon of Punjab", he expressed shock and grief about his death and condoled the aggrieved family.[117] Mann ordered an investigation into why Moose Wala's security was reduced by the Punjab Police two days prior. He also announced the setting up of a judicial commission headed by a sitting judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court to investigate the killing.[118] Numerous celebrities offered their condolences on social media.[119] [120]

Police found bullets from an AN-94 Russian assault rifle and a pistol at the spot of the killing. Police had detained six suspects of the incident from the state of Uttarakhand.[121] On 30 May, one of the murder suspects was detained by the Punjab Police while he was hiding among the pilgrims of Gurudwara Shri Hemkund Sahib.[122]

On 30 May, the Delhi unit of the INC staged a protest near AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal's residence holding the AAP-ruled Government of Punjab responsible for the incident, blaming their decision to curtail Moose Wala's security cover.[123] [124]

His autopsy was carried out by five doctors, and the event was videographed. According to post mortem reports, Moose Wala received 19 bullet injuries, and he died within 15 minutes of being shot due to the wounds.[125]

Moose Wala was cremated in his ancestral village on 31 May. His last rites were performed on his farmland.[126] [127]

On 3 June, Bishnoi allegedly admitted to being involved in the murder and that he had a rivalry with Moose Wala.[128] [129] On 8 June, a bhog ceremony was arranged in Mansa.[130] On 3 July, Ankit Sirsa was arrested by Delhi police for being one of the shooters involved in the killing.[131] On 20 July, gangsters Manpreet Mannu and Jagrup Rupa, suspected of involvement in Moose Wala's killing, were gunned down by the Punjab Police.[132] On 26 July, India TV reported that Punjab Police arrested the last absconding shooter, Deepak Mundi.[133] However, The Indian Express reported that he was arrested on 11 September near the Bengal-Nepal border.

Politics

Before the Sangrur Lok Sabha by-election in 2022, the INC had used pictures of Moose Wala in its election song. The family of Moose Wala made a public appeal to political parties and individuals, asking them to not use his name for political or personal motives. The move was also criticised by the Aam Aadmi Party.[134]
