According to reports, Moose Wala was shot by a bullet while driving his Mahindra Thar. Sidhu Moose Wala and his buddies had left their hamlet of Moosa to meet with someone they knew.

Mr Sidhu has run unsuccessfully as an Indian Congress party’s nominee in Punjabi elections in 2022. In December of last year, the 28-year-old singer joined the Congress party. In the recent assembly election, he ran on the Congress ticket from the Mansa assembly constituency and was beaten by AAP’s Vijay Singla.
