The singer's father Balkaur Singh had in his complaint said that he saw seven to eight people shooting up his son's car.
The Punjab police are scouring through CCTV footage to identify the men who assassinated 28-year-old Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala on Sunday. Fresh footage showing seven men eating at a restaurant at 10:30 am on May 29 has piqued the interest of the investigating authorities. The singer's father Balkaur Singh had in his complaint said that he saw seven to eight people shooting up his son's car. The state police's Special Investigation Team (SIT) is now examining the footage.
Another CCTV footage had emerged earlier on social media showing two cars trailing Sidhu Moose Wala's vehicle moments before he was shot dead in Mansa district of Punjab. The video, however, is not verified by the state police. Yesterday, Sidhu Moose Wala was shot over 30 times by around eight to 10 attackers, according to police sources.
Six suspects have been detained in the case so far. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has ordered an investigation into why the popular rapper-singer's security was pared down. He was on the list of 424 people whose security cover was withdrawn by the Punjab police two days ago.
