Sidhu Moose Wala murder case: The gang leader, Lawrence Bishnoi, has been serving time in Delhi's Tihar Jail in a separate case
The leader of a criminal gang, which has claimed responsibility for the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, has gone to court in a bid to stop the Punjab Police from taking him with them.
The gang leader, Lawrence Bishnoi, has been serving time in Delhi's Tihar Jail in an organised crime case under the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act, or MCOCA, which has very tough conditions for granting bail.
In his petition to Delhi's Patiala House Court, Lawrence Bishnoi said he should not be handed over to the Punjab Police because he fears he would be killed in an "encounter".
Lawrence Bishnoi's gang member, Goldy Brar, who lives in Canada, has in a Facebook post claimed responsibility for killing Sidhu Moose Wala yesterday. The singer was shot at least 30 times from an automatic assault rifle while he was driving his SUV.
