The Punjab and Haryana high court (HC) has directed the Punjab government to give an advance notice if it decides to withdraw security cover given to Harsimran Sandhu, a lawyer and close friend of slain singer Sidhu Moosewala. The high court bench of Justice Kuldeep Tiwari was hearing a plea from Sandhu, who had demanded that adequate security be provided to him as he was receiving threats from gangsters.
Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead on May 29, 2022, by six assailants at Jawahar Ke village in Mansa district, a day after his security was scaled down.
