The Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the murder case of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala is making steady progress, Additional Director General of Punjab Police Pramod Ban said on Tuesday.
Moosewala, the singer-politician who had joined the Congress months before the State Assembly polls, was shot dead on May 29 by unidentified assailants in Mansa district, a day after the State government curtailed his security cover.
"The SIT headed by Inspector General of Police Jaskaran Singh is making steady progress in the investigation and connecting the dots by working on the leads gathered so far through interrogation of the suspects already arrested and other inputs," Mr. Ban, who also heads the Anti-Gangster Task Force, was quoted as saying in a statement issued by the Punjab government on Tuesday night.
Following “strenuous” efforts made by Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to put Moosewala's killers behind bars, the Punjab Police on Tuesday got the transit remand of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi from the Patiala House Court in Delhi, the statement said.
Bishnoi is being brought to Punjab under heavy security cover and is expected to reach early Wednesday, it said.
The court passed the order as Punjab Police produced Bishnoi before it after formally arresting him in the case, according to the statement.
The statement said Bishnoi, who has been named as an accused and conspirator in Moosewala's murder case, was in the custody of Delhi Police for the last 14 days.
