So far, at least ten people, including the alleged main conspirator Lawrence Bishnoi, have been arrested for the killing of Moosewala at Jawahar Ke village on May 29.

According to the police, the singer left his house at around 5 pm on May 29 along with two others — his neighbour, Gurwinder Singh and cousin Gurpreet Singh. The Punjabi singer’s car was boxed in before he was shot dead by yet-to-be-identified assailants. They fired indiscriminately at his Mahindra Thar vehicle. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been constituted by the Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to investigate the murder. It will be supervised by the ADGP Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF), Promod Ban.
