Punjabi singer and rapper Sidhu Moose Wala has been shot dead at the age of 28.

The musician, real name Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, was killed on Sunday evening while driving his car in Mansa, in Punjab state in northern India.

He was taken to hospital, where he was declared dead.

Punjab state’s top police official VK Bhawra said the initial investigation had revealed the shooting to be part of an inter-gang rivalry.

After anger from Moose Wala’s family, Bhawra clarified that he hadn’t say the musician was ‘a gangster or affiliated with gangsters’.

He added: ‘One Goldy Brar has claimed the responsibility on behalf of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The investigation would look into all aspects regarding the murder.’

Punjab’s chief minister Bhagwant Mann has ordered an inquiry into the incident.

The attack came after Moose Wala’s security detail was cut back.
