Meanwhile, Sidhu Moose Wala's father has offered to pay Rs 2 crores to anyone who helps the Police in nabbing gangster Goldy Brar.

"The government must punish these sinners who murder Punjab's youths," Balkaur Singh was quoted as saying at an event. He said that the singer used to pay Rs 2 crores as tax and that the government should announce a reward for any information that could lead to Goldy Brar.

"Why don't you announce a reward of Rs 2 crore? If somebody helps in getting him (Brar) caught, this reward money can be given. I promise that if it cannot pay that much money, I will pay from my own pocket, even if I need to sell my land," he added as per PTI.
