Mansa (Punjab) [India], July 5: Punjabi legendary singer Sidhu Moosewala’s father made his first public appearance after Moosewala’s death.

Balkaur Singh also said that, "Sixty to eighty people were after him (Sidhu Moosewala) to kill him. Efforts were made at least eight more times during the elections to kill him. The government too left no stone unturned, withdrew his security and publicized it.”
Moosewala, the 28-year-old singer, was gunned down near his village in Mansa on May 29 in a broad daylight, a day after Aam Aadmi Party scaled security from several famous politicians.
"Gangsters are running a parallel government in Punjab. Young men are dying. Vicky Middukhera's revenge was taken, tomorrow someone will do it for Sidhu. But it is our houses being destroyed," Singh further added.
The murder of Moosewala saw several arrests. Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, the mastermind in the case, is under police remand till July 6.
