New Delhi:
Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead on Sunday, a day after the Punjab government withdrew security in Punjab’s Mansa district.
Police said gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has claimed responsibility for the attack, calling it retaliation for the murder of Youth Akali Dal leader Vicky Middukheda.
Bollywood and television celebrities took to their respective social media accounts and expressed grief and sorrow over the killing of the singer.
Actor Ranveer Singh shared a picture of Sidhu Moose Wala and captioned it as “Dil Da Ni Mada”. He added a broken heart emoji to it.
