Jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's gang took the responsibility for Sidhu Mooswala's murder citing it to be a retaliation to the killing of Youth Akali Dal leader Vicky Middukhera, Punjab Director-General of Police VK Bhawra informed on Sunday. Middukhera was shot dead by four people in Mohali in August last year. Addressing a press conference, the DGP said that, prima facie, it seems to be an inter-gang rivalry between the Lawrence Bishnoi Group and the Lucky Patial group.

"Lawrence Bishnoi group has taken the responsibility of Sidhu Mooswala's murder citing it as a retaliation to the killing of Vicky Midhukhera," he said. Pertinently, three shooters identified as Sunny, Anil Lath, and Bholu, all residents of Haryana have already been arrested by Delhi Police Special Cell in connection with the murder of Vicky Midhukhera, while, another accused identified as Shaganpreet, who was manager of Sidhu Moosewala was also nominated as accused in the FIR registered regarding the murder of Vicky. Shaganpreet has escaped to Australia and is wanted by the Police.
