‘We won’t grow crops on this field anymore’: In Moosewala’s village, grief and caution

Surrounded by a group of people under the solitary tree in his large agricultural field, Sandeep Singh, 28, sat staring at a platform a few metres away, in Moosa village of Punjab’s Mansa district – with a poster of his friend Sidhu Moosewala, and the words “Miss you Ustad”.

Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as singer Sidhu Moosewala, 28, died within 15 minutes after 19 bullets were fired at him on May 29, according to the autopsy report seen by Newslaundry. The singer had left home with Gurpreet Singh, 32, his cousin, and his friend Gurwinder Singh, 26, to visit his aunt in Jhawahar Ke village in Mansa. As soon as he reached the village, two vehicles which had been following him began firing at his Thar. Moosewala died while his friends survived after the shooting that has since been linked to gang rivalries.
