A large number of people and fans of slain Punjabi rapper Shubhdeep Singh, also known as Sidhu Moose Wala, gathered in Mansa’s Moosa village on Thursday to pay tributes to him on his third death anniversary.A prayer meeting was held at Moose Wala’s farmhouse — the site where his mortal remains were consigned to flames. Moose Wala’s mother Charan Kaur and father Balkaur Singh made emotional posts on social media, remembering their son and expressing anger over lack of justice in the case.
Moose Wala, along with two friends, was driving the Black Thar when shooters in two vehicles surrounded the Thar and sprayed bullets, killing him on the spot at Jawaharke village near Mansa on May 29, 2022.The family alleged that a day prior to his killing, some posts were made on social media making claims about the downsizing of his security, which turned fatal.
The family also accused the AAP govt of going slow in delaying justice for his brutal killing.Holding her newborn Shubhdeep, Moose Wala’s mother Charan Kaur became emotional when her husband Balkaur Singh, in his address at the meet, said that every day went like a year in the last three years as they suffered immensely after losing their son.
In addition to this, Singh said he would continue fighting for justice. Charges have been framed against all 27 accused in the case, including Lawrence Bishnoi, in a court of Mansa session judge HS Grewal under various sections, including murder, on May 1, 2024.
Addressing the gathering, Moose Wala’s father Balkaur Singh thanked the public for continuing to honour his son’s legacy but voiced deep anguish over the lack of justice in the high-profile murder case.
“We stand with all innocent people who have lost their lives unjustly, whether in Pahalgam or elsewhere. Today’s barsi is a tribute to them too,” said Balkaur.
The case is at the evidence stage, as Balkaur Singh is yet to record his statement as a witness.A number of songs by Moose Wala have been released posthumously.
