New Delhi, June 2 (IANS) The murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala has infuriated inter-gang rivalries, as gangsters are now vowing to avenge the late singer's death.
In a latest development, a Haryana-based gangster has announced a reward of Rs 5 lakh on social media for information on the killers of Moosewala.
Moosewala, 29, was brutally murdered on May 29 by assailants who fired multiple rounds at him near his native village in Punjab's Mansa district. He was rushed to a hospital where the doctors declared him brought dead.
"It's a request to everyone that if anyone has information about the killers of Moosewala, Rs 5 lakh reward will be given for the information and the name of the informer will be kept secret," a post on the Facebook page of gangster Bhupi Rana read.
Rana is currently lodged in jail in Karnal.
On Wednesday, Delhi-based Neeraj Bawana gang had threatened to launch a retaliatory attack in the wake of Moosewala's killing. The gang had vowed to deliver results in just two days. The message was uploaded by a Facebook profile by the name of 'Neeraj Bawana Delhi NCR'.
Neeraj Bawana is one of Delhi's top gangsters, and is currently lodged in Tihar Jail.
The Facebook story also tagged other gangs viz. Tillu Tajpuriya gang, and Davinder Bambiha and Kaushal Gurgaon gang. The vile threat has been possibly issued to the rival gangs of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who has been accused of planning the singer's murder.
There is no evidence for the theory that a bid to plant saffron flags at a mosque led to violence in Delhi's Jahangirpuri but was "a minor argument which later took the shape of massive violence", Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh Asthana said on Monday.
Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) President Sukhbir Singh Badal on Monday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene and ensure the expeditious release of Bhai Balwant Singh Rajoana to fulfill the promise made to the Sikh community to release eight Sikh prisoners who have served more than the effective equivalent of a life sentence on the eve of the 550th Parkash Purb celebrations of Guru Nanak Dev in 2019.
The organisation said that Maan should express regret over the recent meeting. Dhesi had met Mann along with newly-elected Rajya Sabha member and AAP leader Raghav Chadha on Sunday.
The Golden Temple in Amritsar, one of Sikhism's holiest shrines, saw a heavy rush to offer prayers. As per gurdwara officials, nearly two lakh devotees visit the Golden Temple on the occasion of Baisakhi.
The Enforcement Directorate has questioned former Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi at its Jalandhar office in connection with the illegal sand mining case involving Channi's nephew, Bhupinder Singh Honey, and others.
Extending his best wishes to all Indians living in the country as well as abroad, he said: "These festivals celebrated all across the country reflect our diversity and also emphasise our unity. The festivals are occasions of enjoyment for the farmer community who work tirelessly for the betterment and progress of the nation."
