Moose Wala remembered on 3rd death anniversary, family says justice still eludes
Bathinda: A large number of people and fans of slain Punjabi rapper Shubhdeep Singh, also known as Sidhu Moose Wala , gathered in Mansa's Moosa village on Thursday to pay tributes to him on his third death anniversary. A prayer meeting was held at Moose Wala's farmhouse — the site where his mortal remains were consigned to flames. Moose Wala's mother Charan Kaur and father Balkaur Singh made emotional posts on social media, remembering their son and expressing anger over lack of justice in the case. Moose Wala, along with two friends, was driving the Black Thar when shooters in two vehicles surrounded the Thar and sprayed bullets, killing him on the spot at Jawaharke village near Mansa on May 29, 2022. The family alleged that a day prior to his killing, some posts were made on social media making claims about the downsizing of his security, which turned fatal. The family also accused the AAP govt of going slow in delaying justice for his brutal killing. Holding her newborn Shubhdeep, Moose Wala's mother Charan Kaur became emotional when her husband Balkaur Singh, in his address at the meet, said that every day went like a year in the last three years as they suffered immensely after losing their son. Singh said he would continue fighting for justice. Charges have been framed against all 27 accused in the case, including Lawrence Bishnoi, in a court of Mansa session judge HS Grewal under various sections, including murder, on May 1, 2024. The case is at the evidence stage, as Balkaur Singh is yet to record his statement as a witness. A number of songs by Moose Wala have been released posthumously. BOX Father's political debut in 2027? Balkaur Singh, a couple of days ago, expressed his willingness to contest the 2027 Punjab assembly elections to get justice for his son, saying that with power in hand, he could fight for justice more aggressively. He is expected to contest from the Mansa assembly constituency, from where his son unsuccessfully contested in 2022. Balkaur Singh slammed Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, accusing him of not doing enough to control crime and stated that his political entry would be centred on seeking justice, restoring public safety, and speaking up for those who are being silenced.

'For Justice...': Sidhu Moosewala's Father To Contest 2027 Punjab Polls From Mansa
Balkaur Singh, the father of late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, has announced that he will contest the 2027 state Assembly elections from the Mansa constituency. The announcement comes just days before the third death anniversary of his son, who was brutally murdered on May 29, 2022. Balkaur Singh stated that his decision to enter politics is driven by his fight for justice for his son, Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moosewala. He expressed frustration that, despite the passage of time, many of the accused are still at large, and his family has not received justice.
