A CCTV footage accessed by NDTV shows a car, which was allegedly used by the assailants in the killing of singer Sidhu Moose Wala, entering Punjab's Mansa from Haryana's Fatehabad district.

The CCTV camera had captured the car entering Mansa four days before the murder of the singer.

Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead in Mansa on May 29, a day after his security cover was pruned by the Punjab government.

Moga Police have detained two people from Fatehabad in connection with the singer's killing. According to sources, both suspects have links with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang that has claimed the responsibility for Moose Wala's murder.

Bishnoi, who is in the custody of the Delhi Police's Special Cell, has alleged that Moose Wala was involved in the killing of Akali Dal youth leader Vikramjit Singh alias Vicky Middukhera on August 7 last year, which led to a "rivalry" between his gang and the Punjabi singer, officials said.

Bishnoi has been very uncooperative and has not yet disclosed the names of his gang members who were the real conspirators being the killing, officials said.

Earlier, the Punjab police on May 31 arrested a person named Manpreet Singh from Uttarakhand for allegedly supplying vehicles to assailants who were involved in the murder of Moose Wala.

The singer was among the 424 people whose security was withdrawn or curtailed by the Punjab government on May 28. The downsizing of the security cover sparked a huge political controversy, with Opposition parties accusing the Bhagwant Mann government of endangering VIPs'.
