Bishnoi says he planned to kill Moose Wala, doesn't know shooters
During the 5-hour questioning of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, the alleged main conspirator in the killing of Sidhu Moose Wala, by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) on Friday, the gangster admitted that he had ordered the recce of the singer's house, but he did not know who had executed the hit.
According to sources, Bishnoi confessed that he had planned to kill Sidhu Moose Wala to avenge the death of Vicky Middukhera and arranged for the recce to know his movements but he were the attackers. Sources added that Bishnoi told the SIT led by AIG Gurmeet Singh Chauhan along with Mansa SSP Gaurav Toora and AGTS DSP Bikram Singh Brar during interrogation that Middukhera was like his elder brother and his gang members also treated him like one. Sources quoted Bishnoi as saying that his gang members must have executed the plan to avenge Middukhera's killing as "they were very sad over the murder".
Sources in SIT said that Bishnoi also mentioned that the gang members were upset over Moose Wala allegedly helping his manager Shaganpreet Singh in escaping to Australia. Bishnoi apparently made these revelations when he was shown CTV footage, photographs and videos of the day and place where the Punjab singer was killed. He was also shown the CCTV footage of vehicles following Moose Wala and photos and videos of the spot after the attack.
When the gangster was made to identify vehicles used in the crime, he said he didn't know the shooters who killed Moose Wala. SIT during the interrogation of Bishnoi and other arrested gangsters learned that the weapons used were buried on borders of Punjab and Haryana, but police are yet to identify the spot.
