On a late May afternoon in 2022, Sidhu Moose Wala, the popular Punjabi musician, was driving his black Mahindra Thar SUV near his native village in Punjab’s Mansa district when two vehicles began to tail him.

“When a convict is in jail, he will lose some of his rights. But the child of the convict should get the presence of his father for few days for a successful education,” HC said

Speaking to the BBC via an audio recording, Brar said Moose Wala’s actions left them “no option but to kill him”
