References to Mai Bhago

References to Khalistan movement

In December 2020, Moose Wala released the single "Panjab: My Motherland" in support of the farmers protest against the 2020 Indian agriculture acts, that featured clips of an orthodox militant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and speeches made by supporter of Khalistan, Bharpur Singh Balbir in the late 1980s.[67][68][69] In an interview Moose Wala said that Khalistan means a pure place (पवित्र स्थान ), like it was under the rule of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, where people of all religions lived in harmony.[70]

As of 2022, Moose Wala was facing four criminal cases for promoting gun culture and violence. Two of which were related to obscene scenes.[71]

In May 2020, two videos featuring Moose Wala went viral on social media: one showcased him training to use an AK-47 with assistance from police officers,[72] and the other saw him use a personal pistol.[73] The six officers who had assisted him were suspended following the incident.[74] On 19 May, he was booked under two sections of the Arms Act.[75] The police began conducting raids to find Moose Wala, but he absconded to evade arrest.[76][77][78] On 2 June, the Barnala District Court rejected a plea for anticipatory bail for Moose Wala and five accused officers.[79]

On 6 June 2020, he was fined by police in Nabha for his car windows were tinted black beyond what was permissible, and was allowed to leave despite being under lookout; Moose Wala incorrectly told the officers that he was already on bail.[80] In July, he joined the police investigation and was granted regular bail.[81] That month, he released a single titled "Sanju", comparing himself to actor Sanjay Dutt, who was also arrested under the Arms Act.[82] Indian sport shooter Avneet Sidhu criticised the song and called out Moose Wala for promoting gun culture.[83][84] The next day, a case was registered against him for releasing the song.[85] In an interview, Moose Wala alleged that he was being deliberately targeted by some news channels and lawyers.[19]

During the 2022 election, a case under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code, was filed against Moose Wala for his violation of the election code of conduct. He had held door-to-door campaign in Mansa constituency, after the end of allowed duration of election campaign.[97]

On 11 April 2022, Moose Wala released a song titled "Scapegoat", in which he laments his failure in the 2022 Punjab state assembly elections.[98] The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) claimed that Moose Wala through his song insinuated that the voters of Punjab were "gaddar" (transl. traitors) for electing AAP. They also claimed that Moose Wala's song perpetuates the Congress' "anti-Punjab" mentality and demanded an answer from the party's state unit president, Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, on whether he endorsed Moose Wala's views.[99]

Death

Moose Wala was shot dead in his car on 29 May 2022 in Jawaharke village of Mansa district, by unidentified assailants. According to police, the killing was caused by gang rivalry.[103]

According to police, at around 4:30 pm, he left his house with his cousin Gurpreet Singh and neighbour Gurwinder Singh. Moose Wala was driving his black Mahindra Thar SUV, and his father was following him in a separate car. He was going to his aunt's house in Barnala.[104] At 5:30 when the SUV reached the village Jawaharke, two other cars intercepted and blocked it.[103] 30 rounds were fired during the incident, which also injured two other men.[105] Moose Wala also fired back at the attackers using his pistol.

Moose Wala was among the 424 people whose police security was reduced or entirely removed the day before, in preparation for the anniversary of Operation Blue Star, leaving him with two commandos only, as compared to four earlier.[106][107] At the time of the incident, Moose Wala was travelling in his private car accompanied by two others instead of his bullet-proof vehicle with the police commandos.[108][109] According to his friends, Moose Wala did not take his security along with him as his Thar SUV that he chose to drive could not accommodate five people.[104]

Aftermath

According to the police, Moose Wala's killing appeared to be done to avenge the murder of an Akali leader, Vicky Middukhera in 2021. Moose Wala's aide was accused of having a role in the killing of Middukhera.[103] A Canadian gangster of Punjabi origin, identified as Satinder Singh alias Goldy Brar, claimed responsibility for the murder. Brar, a close associate of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi claimed that his "Punjab Module" (gang) carried out the shooting. Both Brar and Bishnoi have criminal cases against them in India. The Punjab police later confirmed Bishnoi's involvement.[110][111][112]

Subsequently in the FIR, Moose Wala's father revealed that Sidhu was receiving death threats from gangsters for extortion purposes, a statement corroborated by singer Mika Singh.[113]

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann condemned the murder. Calling Moose Wala "a cultural icon of Punjab" he expressed shock and grief on his death and condoled the aggrieved family.[114][115] Mann ordered an investigation into why Moose Wala's security was reduced by the Punjab police two days prior.[103] He also announced setting up of a judicial commission headed by a sitting judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court to investigate the killing.[114] Numerous celebrities offered their condolences on social media.[116][117]

Police found bullets of AN-94 Russian assault rifle and a pistol at the spot of the killing. Police have detained six suspects in the incident from the state of Uttarakhand.[103][118] On 30 May, one of the murder suspect was detained by the Punjab Police while he was hiding among the pilgrims of Gurudwara Shri Hemkund Sahib.[119]

On 30 May, the Delhi-unit of Indian National Congress staged a protest near Aam Aadmi Party supremo Arvind Kejriwal's residence holding the AAP-ruled Government of Punjab responsible for the incident, blaming the state government's decision to curtail Moosewala's security cover.[120][121]

His autopsy was carried out by 5 doctors and the event was videographed. According to post-mortem reports, Moose Wala's body received 19 bullet injuries and he died in 15 minutes after getting shot due to gunshot wounds.[122]

Moose Wala was cremated in his ancestral village on 31 May. His last rites were performed in his farm land.[13][123]

On 3 June, Lawrence Bishnoi allegedly admitted to being involved in the murder and that he had a rivalry with Moose Wala.[124][125]

Politics

Before the Sangrur Lok Sabha by-polls in 2022, Congress party had used pictures of Moose Wala in its election song. The family of Moose Wala made a public appeal to political parties and individuals, asking them to not use his name for political or personal motive. Tribune newspaper reported that this appeal came as a setback for Congress party as it was intending to use the public sympathy over Moose Wala's death for electoral benefit in the by-polls.[126]
