Rapper Sidhu Moose Wala Tragically Shot, Killed at 28 [REPORT]

Rapper Sidhu Moose Wala was murdered while driving near his home in India, reports confirmed.

The 28-year-old rapper-turned-politician was shot and killed by assailants in the Mansa district of Punjab. Several gruesome videos and photos that were taken at the scene have since gone viral, most of which show Moose Wala's dead body in the driver seat of his black SUV.

Bystanders still checked his pulse, but the rapper - who was already covered in blood - died afterward. He was still rushed to a hospital, where the doctors officially declared him dead.

Rolling Stone reviewed the footage of the incident and reported that Mahindra Thar had around 14 bullet holes.

Punjab's chief of police VK Bhawra added that at least 30 rounds were fired by the suspects. He noted that the bullets came from three different weapons.

Due to this, senior officers started to think that Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar was responsible for the rapper's death as well as Lawrence Bishnoi.

Aside from Moose Wala, the gang also planned to murder Youth Congress Leader Gurlal Singh Balwan in Punjab.

The rapper's death came after the Punjab government did not approve his security cover.

"Since AAP has come to power in Punjab, law&order has seen a downward trend: >Broad-daylight murders > Violent clashes in Patiala > RPG attack on Punjab Police >Sidhu Moosewala Shot dead. Law & Order crumbling like a pack of cards in AAP regime-Bhagwant Mann must respond," Congress leader Jaiveer Shergill said.
