Punjab Police arrests Manpreet Singh in Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder

The Punjab Police has made the first arrest in singer-politician Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder.

The police of the border state have formally arrested Manpreet Singh who was picked up from Uttrakhand last evening along with five others.

Singh, a known drug dealer, was produced before the court and has been sent to five days in police custody.

He has been arrested in the past for arms related crimes, attempt to murder, rioting, and unlawful gathering.

The Punjab Police managed to locate and catch the six from Dehradun with the help of the Uttarakhand Police and the Special Task Force (STF).

One of them, the police suspected, was a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which is said to be involved in Moose Wala’s gruesome murder.

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang came under the police’s radar after Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar claimed responsibility for the murder. Brar, a close associate of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, claimed he killed the singer to avenge the death of one Vicky Middukhera.
