On May 29, singer/rapper and Congress leader Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead in district Mansa, Punjab. After the incident, he was rushed to the hospital, and his mother accompanied him and two others who were injured. Before he was declared dead, she lashed out at the media seeking updates about Moosewala and asked them to leave her alone.
Distraught by the shooting incident, she blamed Aam Aadmi Party-led government in Punjab for the attack. She said, “You removed my son’s security, and he was attacked today. They were saying there is no need for security. Now go and see how my son was shot. Shoot me as well. Such a useless government this is.”
When the video was recorded, it was unclear if Moosewala was alive or had succumbed to bullet injuries. Notably, his security was removed by the AAP government along with 423 other prominent personalities in Punjab.
