California: A man who allegedly supplied the weapons used to kill Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala in May 2023 has been detained in the United States, according to Punjab police. A wanted international arms dealer, Dharamjot Singh Kahlon was detained in California and is closely associated with Goldy Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi. While Brar is believed to be hiding in Canada, Bishnoi is lodged in Bathinda central jail. Kahlon supplied weapons that were used by Goldy Brar in Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder.
The man, identified as Mandeep Singh, was detained by the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the city of Houston, Texas. He is wanted by Punjab police in connection with Moose Wala’s murder.
Moose Wala was shot dead on May 29, 2023, in Mansa district of Punjab. He was 28 years old. The killing sparked outrage in Punjab and led to calls for the resignation of the state’s chief minister, Bhagwant Mann.
Police have arrested eight people in connection with Moose Wala’s murder, including two of his close aides. They have also recovered a cache of weapons, including the AK-47 rifle that was used to kill him.
Mandeep Singh is alleged to have supplied the weapons to the killers. He is also accused of providing logistical support to them.
Punjab police are in touch with the ICE authorities to seek Singh’s extradition to India. They are also investigating his links to other criminal gangs in Punjab.
The detention of Mandeep Singh is a major breakthrough in the Moose Wala murder case. It is hoped that his interrogation will lead to the arrest of the other killers and the masterminds behind the crime.
Moose Wala’s murder was a high-profile case that attracted national attention. It also highlighted the growing problem of gun violence in Punjab. The killing has led to calls for stricter gun control laws in the state.
The detention of Mandeep Singh is a sign that the Punjab police are serious about solving Moose Wala’s murder and bringing the killers to justice. It is also a warning to other criminals who are involved in gun violence.
