Bishnoi moved the Delhi High Court seeking a direction to ensure his security if his custody was handed over to the Punjab police
Two days after popular singer Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead in Punjab’s Mansa district, the Delhi Police Special Cell has obtained a three-day police custody of dreaded gangster Lawrence Bishnoi in connection with a separate case and will also be interrogating him for Moosewala’s murder.
A senior police officer from the Delhi Police Special Cell said, “We have obtained his (Bishnoi’s) police custody in connection with a case of April where three sharpshooters of the Jitendra Gogi gang were arrested for being involved in several cases of murders and extortion. He will also be interrogated in connection with Moosewala’s death”.
This comes after police sources said that Moosewala’s death was planned from inside the Tihar jail by Bishnoi along with several of his jailed aides. Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar had claimed responsibility for the murder of the singer through a Facebook post on Sunday.
Bishnoi moved the Delhi High Court on Tuesday seeking a direction to ensure his security if his custody was handed over to the Punjab police in connection with singer Sidhu Moosewala’s murder case.
The High Court is scheduled to hear Mr. Bishnoi’s plea on Wednesday.
Bishnoi, in his petition filed through advocate Vishal Chopra, said he apprehended a “fake encounter by the Punjab police due to the political mileage between two political parties due to the recent unfortunate murder of renowned singer namely Sidhu Moosewala on May 29”.
The plea stated that on the evening of May 29, the Punjab police called a press conference where it was alleged that Bishnoi had an involvement in the murder of Moosewala.
