A well-known Punjabi singer claims that the Punjab government has withdrawn his security, raising concerns about safety in the region following the assassination of Sidhu Moosewala.
In the wake of rising concerns over safety in Punjab after Sidhu Moosewala's tragic death nearly four years ago, a renowned Punjabi singer has publicly stated that his security detail has been revoked by the Punjab government. The singer, who has stated he feels threatened by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claims this withdrawal came soon after a meeting he had with political leader Sukhbir Badal. The removal of 14 security personnel immediately following this encounter has raised eyebrows and sparked a new controversy in Punjab's political landscape.
The singer, who chose to remain unnamed due to safety concerns, insisted that his meeting with Badal was merely a social courtesy and that it should not be politicized. He highlighted a recent incident where he faced gunfire at his residence abroad, which he believes to be linked to the Lawrence gang. This experience underscores the gravity of his situation and the potential risks involved when high-profile individuals in Punjab express political opinions or meet with leaders.
The aftermath of Moosewala's murder continues to reverberate throughout the region, and the singer's allegations add to existing tensions regarding security measures for public figures. By questioning who would be accountable if a serious incident were to occur following the withdrawal of his protection, the singer has opened a crucial dialogue about safety protocols in Punjab—especially at a time when threats appear to be increasingly concrete and real for artists and public figures alike.
