Indian singer and politician Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead on Sunday by gangsters in an attack near his ancestral village Jawaharke in district Mansa, Punjab.
He had recently joined the Congress. The incident occurred within 24 hours after his security was withdrawn by the Punjab government. Police said Sidhu appeared to have sustained more than eight bullet injuries and was taken to the Mansa civil hospital where he passed away.
The heartbreaking news left his massive fan following and media fraternity devastated. Bollywood celebrities appeared at a loss of words at the news of well-known singer/s death.
Rapper AP Dhillon shared the struggles of Punjabi artists with reference to Moose Wala’s death. He wrote,
“Most people will never know the extent of what you have to deal with as a Punjabi artist behind the scenes on a daily basis. With the constant judgement, hate-filled comments, threats and negative energy directed towards people like us who are just doing what we love to do. I always admired how Sidhu was able to rise above it all. He made it look easy and stayed true to himself.”
