Punjabi Singer Sidhu Moose Wala Shot Dead: Leaders, Fans Give CondolencesPunjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, who contested the state elections on a Congress ticket, was shot dead in the state's Mansa district today. His police security was withdrawn yesterday.
Security For Singer Sidhu Moose Wala Withdrawn Day Before He's Shot DeadThe security cover of Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moosewala, who was shot dead in Mansa district, was withdrawn yesterday.
There is a reason why security provided to people should be based on an objective threat assessment & not based on personal likes & dislikes. These days security seems to be a reward for loyalty rather than an objective, need based decision #moosewala
