Canadian gangster Goldie Brar, a close aide of gang leader Lawrence Bishnoi, has claimed responsibility for the murder of Sidhu Musewala.
Police claim that Moosewala was attacked by eight assailants. Three AK-94 rifle bullets were recovered from the spot. Use of AK-94 is rare in Punjab.
Meanwhile, police have detained some people in Bathinda on suspicion of their alleged links with the Goldie Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi gangs and their involvement in the murder of Musewala.
Police officials had earlier today suspected the involvement of gangsters in the crime. Police officials had claimed that recently there have been cases of gangsters calling singers and actors of the Punjabi film industry for ransom.
Opposition parties in the state have been raising questions on the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.
