Game, gangs & murder: Kabaddi tourney that turned Sidhu Moose Wala into target
The long-standing gang rivalry that culminated in the killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala reportedly began over a kabaddi tournament held in Bhago Majra village, near Kharar, in Mohali district in February 2020. Moose Wala was killed in Jawahar Ke village in Mansa district, on May 29, 2022. He was traveling in a jeep with two friends when he was shot. The murder was allegedly planned by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his associate Goldy Brar. The tournament, organised by youths affiliated with the Devinder Bambiha gang, is now being cited by both the police and gangster Goldy Brar as a key trigger in the deteriorating relationship between Moose Wala and jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. According to Punjab Police officials investigating the Moose Wala murder case, Lawrence Bishnoi had warned the singer not to attend the kabaddi tournament, as it was organised by rival gang members — Lucky Patial and his close aide Mandeep Dhaliwal. Bishnoi, who was in jail at the time, reportedly called Moose Wala and cautioned him against participating in any events connected to his enemies. 'This has come out during Lawrence's interrogation. He admitted that he told Moose Wala to stay away from the Bhago Majra tournament. When Moose Wala ignored his warnings, Lawrence told him to be ready to face the consequences,' said a senior Punjab Police official involved in the investigation. The tensions escalated quickly, with Moose Wala's continued associations with members of the rival gang perceived as open defiance by Bishnoi. In a BBC documentary — The Killing Call — gangster Goldy Brar also acknowledged the Bhago Majra tournament as the starting point of the dispute. 'That village belongs to our rivals. Moose Wala promoted them by attending the tournament. Lawrence was very upset and told him we would harm him for this. These mistakes were made in arrogance and were unforgettable,' Goldy Brar told the BBC. This was not Moose Wala's first appearance at events organised by the rival group. In 2019, he had also attended another kabaddi tournament organised by Mandeep Dhaliwal in Ferozepur Banger village near Mullanpur in Mohali. The situation further deteriorated just days after the Bhago Majra incident. On March 17, 2020, Surjit Bouncer, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, was gunned down at Sector 38 West light point in Chandigarh. Police suspect the Lucky Patial group orchestrated the killing, intensifying Lawrence's anger towards Moosewala. Investigations also revealed that Mandeep Dhaliwal and Lucky Patial had formed two music labels – Thug Life and Gold Music – allegedly to coerce singers into releasing music under their banners. Notably, Moose Wala later released a song titled 'Thug Life', which some interpreted as either a nod to or mockery of the rival group's branding.

Ballerina box office prediction day 1: Ana de Armas, Keanu Reeves' John Wick spinoff may earn around Rs 8 crore in India
Ballerina box office prediction day 1: Ballerina, which hit the screens in India on June 13, has created a fair deal of buzz among fans with its stylish trailer. The fact that it is set in the same universe as Keanu Reeves' John Wick films too has added to the curiosity around it. These factors are likely to help it open to a good response at the Indian box office. Ballerina box office prediction day 1: A good star on the cards Ana de Armas is in the limelight because of her latest film Ballerina, which arrived in theatres in India today. According to Ramesh Bala, a trade analyst, the action thriller is set to collect between Rs 5 crore to Rs 8 crore on the first day. 'It is a spinoff of John Wick. Reeves' film is popular here. Therefore, I see it grossing between Rs 5 crore and 8 crore. It will do well in the South especially as it faces no competition,' he told Indiatimes. Ballerina is unlikely to face competition from Housefull 5, which was released last week, as both films cater to different audiences. The former is meant for an urban youth audience. The latter, on the other hand, caters more the family audiences. Thug Life too won't be a problem for Ballerina as it has failed to impress even Kamal Haasan's ardent fans. About Ballerina Ballerina is an action thriller directed by Len Wiseman. It revolves around the life of an assassin and is a sidequel to . John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum. It stars Ana de Armas, Gabriel Byrne, Norman Reedus, Keanu Reeves, and the late Lance Reddick.
