Chandigarh: Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has admitted that he was the “mastermind” in Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala’s killing and the planning was going on since last August, additional director general of Punjab police Pramod Ban said.
Ban, who is also the head of the Anti-Gangster Task Force, said another accused, Baldev alias Nikku, a resident of Haryana’s Sirsa district, was arrested last week.
Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, also known as Sidhu Moosewala, was shot dead in Mansa district on May 29, a day after the Punjab government pruned the security cover of the singer and 423 people temporarily.
“We had recently arrested Lawrence Bishnoi in the case and his remand was extended till June 27. He has admitted that he was the mastermind (in Moosewala’s killing),” Ban told reporters.
