Punjabi music lost a star in Sidhu Moosewala, and now his murder probe sees a twist—the Supreme Court bailing out Pawan Bishnoi and Jagtar Singh. The bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta cleared the path for their release, a blow to the ongoing prosecution.
These men face allegations of plotting in the May 2022 hit, specifically handing over a Bolero to assassins and ties to Bishnoi gang operatives and Goldy Brar. Earlier bids for freedom flopped at district level in 2023, with courts wary of their proclaimed innocence against state claims of gang aid.
Bishnoi told judges police were pinning a false narrative, no car was supplied. But officials slammed it as enabling a cold-blooded murder. Supreme Court saw otherwise, freeing them under bonds and surveillance.
Rewind to the horror: Moosewala, fresh from home, faced a hail of gunfire from masked attackers, perishing instantly. Bishnoi gang’s Facebook post boasted of avenging Vicky Middukheda, whose killers police say Moosewala’s aide housed post-hit.
This layered feud highlights dangers lurking for celebrities in Punjab’s gangland. Bail doesn’t mean acquittal—trials ahead will test evidence. Moosewala’s legacy endures through hits and activism, but justice remains elusive as layers peel back in court.
