Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead by undeniable crisis in Punjab’s Mansa on Sunday. He was reportedly shot at least 10 times near a temple in village Jhawahar Ke and was declared brought dead at the Civil Hospital in Mansa.

“Three people were brought to the hospital, out of which Sidhu Moose Wala was dead. After giving primary treatment, the two injured have been referred to a higher institute for further treatment,” said Dr Ranjeet Rai, Civil Surgeon, Mansa Hospital.

Earlier this year, Moose Wala had unsuccessfully contested the Punjab Assembly polls on a Congress ticket. He was defeated by Aam Aadmi Party’s Dr Vijay Singla. Singla was recently removed as state health minister by Mann over corruption charges.
