Balkaur Singh has been receiving threats on Instagram and via WhatsApp messages from Pakistani numbers in the aftermath of the brutal killing of his son and Punjabi artist Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, also known as Sidhu Moose Wala.
According to sources, one of Sidhu Moosewala's fans saw a post on the musician's Instagram account saying that the next number is his Bapu (father), so please save him.
Balkaur Singh spoke out against the criminal underworld after his son was assassinated on May 29.
These criminals were killed in a nearly five-hour-long encounter at a village in Amritsar on Wednesday. Three policemen and a journalist were also injured during the operation.?
Senior Superintendent of Police for Mansa Gaurav Toora said it was a random Instagram post on a fan's wall; we are checking the integrity. Since the incident involving the murder of Sidhu Moosewala, the security of families has been ramped up. At the residence, extra security has also been added.
He said that the shooter, Deepak Mundi, had been the subject of several police leads and that he was expected to be apprehended soon. Out of six, he is the only one still fleeing police because three have been arrested and two killed during the encounter.
Singh told reporters in Amritsar,?
"Police did their action, and I appreciate their work. It is just the beginning, and it is a long fight.
The police held gangster Lawrence Bishnoi as the "mastermind" behind the killing. According to the police, the singer's murder was in retaliation to youth Akali leader Vicky Middukhera's killing that took place last year.
