New Delhi: Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi is the mastermind behind the murder of Sidhu Moose Wala, the Delhi Police told reporters today. Lawrence Bishnoi was the key suspect in the killing of Sidhu Moose Wala. But he had not confessed to the crime, saying instead that his gang was involved and they had planned and executed the crime.
Lawrence Bishnoi — who is in Delhi’s Tihar jail — has been questioned several times by the police. He is said to be connected to Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar, who claimed responsibility for Moose Wala’s murder in a Facebook post. The motive, he claimed, was retaliation to the killing of Akali leader Vicky Middukhera, which took place last year.
Today, senior police officer HS Dhaliwal said at least 5 people were involved in the murder. One of them, Siddhesh Hiraman Kamle alias Mahakaal — a close associate of one of the shooters — has been arrested, he said. “Mahakaal was not involved in the shooting. The actual shooters will be arrested soon,” Mr Dhaliwal said.
