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.
The NCB was keeping a close vigil on the drug smuggling cases in all the election-bound states, during which as many as 14 cases related to the seizure of drugs were reported from Punjab, which went to the polls in a single phase on February 20.
Judge Ambalal R Patel announced a compensation of Rs one lakh for the families of the deceased, Rs 50,000 for the seriously injured and Rs 25,000 for those who suffered minor injuries.
The BJP claimed the Prime Minister hosting the prominent Sikhs will help the party by sending a message to the people of Punjab that he is deeply connected with the community and understands their concerns and issues. Another party leader aware of Punjab politics said that the interaction will help the BJP to dispel the anti-Sikh misconception built around it.
Continuing his attack on Punjab Chief Minister Charanjeet Singh Channi, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on Friday said that Channi has no knowledge of Bihar. Nitish Kumar claimed that the Congress party gave a chance to a person who has no knowledge of Bihar and Bihari people.
Addressing the media here, he said all the parties were opposing the AAP because it is talking about building good schools and hospitals for the people of Punjab. The AAP is talking about providing good education and medical facilities to the people.
State party chief Navjot Singh Sidhu said the party's government would procure oilseed, pulses and corn from farmers. Sidhu said the party's 13-point agenda reflects Rahul Gandhi's vision.
