Sidhu Moose Wala, 28, was shot dead by a group of attackers last Sunday at Jawahar Ke village in Mansa, a day after his security was pared down by the Punjab government. His body had 19 bullet wounds and he died within 15 minutes of being shot, according to the post-mortem report.
After Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar claimed responsibility for the murder in a Facebook post, his associate Lawrence Bishnoi, a gang-leader jailed in Delhi's Tihar prison, is being questioned.
Three have been arrested so far.
Devendra, aka Kala, was arrested by Punjab Police from Haryana's Fatehabad, based on inputs from the interrogation of the two other arrested suspects. The police had received inputs that Kala accommodated two suspected murders -- Keshav and Charanjeet -- in his house on May 16-17.
Two others -- Pavan and Naseeb - were arrested from Bhirdana earlier.
