How A Banged-Up Getaway Car Can Lead To Sidhu Moose Wala's Killers

The killers had to change three vehicles and eventually flee on foot as the getaway cars kept abruptly stopping.

A minor oversight by gangsters who planned Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala's assassination might unravel the entire plot and provide crucial evidence in finding the shooters. According to sources, jailed gangsters who were responsible for the killing had taken all precautions, including using virtual phone numbers and untraceable apps to communicate and sophisticated weapons to kill. However, they faltered in the choice of the getaway vehicle which could potentially lead to the killers.

When Sidhu Moose Wala was travelling to his ailing aunt's home in Barnala with friends Gurvinder Singh and Gurpreet Singh in his Mahindra Thar SUV, one of the criminals visited his house with the excuse of getting a selfie clicked. He reportedly informed the shooters that the singer had left without the security detail or the bulletproof car.

The assassins then fired at Sidhu Moose Wala's vehicle from a Toyota Corolla car in Jawaharke village of Mansa district. The bullets hit the rear side of the vehicle after which the singer reportedly fired twice at the car from his licensed pistol. However, a Mahindra Bolero overtook the singer's car right then and started firing indiscriminately from a sophisticated automatic assault rifle. Sidhu Moose Wala died on the spot and the two friends sustained injuries.

The shooters then fled the spot in their vehicles but the Bolero abruptly stopped nearby after which all of them tried to flee in the Corolla car. The Corolla also shut down due to overheating and the shooters robbed a Maruti Suzuki Alto from a passerby, which again shut down soon after. Eyewitnesses saw the shooters fleeing on foot after that.
