31-year-old Mankirt Aulakh has requested the Punjab police to increase his security cover citing a threat to life.
Just as thousands thronged Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala's cremation a day after his gruesome murder, another Punjabi singer has revealed that he too has received death threats. According to sources, 31-year-old Mankirt Aulakh has requested the Punjab police to increase his security cover citing a threat to life.
Mr Aulakh received the threats last month from the Davinder Bambiha gang, a rival of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang that took responsibility for killing Moose Wala, sources said.
Sidhu Moose Wala was shot at least 30 times from an automatic assault rifle while he was driving his SUV in the Mansa district of Punjab, a day after the state government pruned his security cover.
Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar claimed responsibility for Moose Wala's murder. Brar, who has close ties to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, said in a Facebook post that he had killed Moose Wala to avenge the death of gangster Vicky Middukhera.
