CHANDIGARH: Continuing gang war in Punjab has spilled out to other countries where Punjab gangsters are taking shelter and using as base to operate in Punjab. In the aftermath of murder of Punjabi Singer Sidhu Mossewala, the fear of gang war has intensified.
The Canada-based gangster Goly Brar, named one of the main conspirators of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala's murder, has claimed that his aides have killed Mandeep Dhaliwal, a member of a rival Bambiha gang in the Philippines.
In a video posted on what is believed to be Goldy Brar's Facebook account, the gangster said he had planned Mandeep Dhaliwal's killing to avenge the death of two shooters of his gang - Jagroop Singh Rupa and Manpreet Mannu. Mandeep alleged to have tipped Punjab Police about the presence of Rupa and Manu, killed in police encounter in Amritsar district.
Goldy Brar is a close aide of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is the key suspect in the Punjabi rapper's murder. Punjab Police has filed chargesheet against Bishnoi and 26 other accused named in Moosewala case.
"These pitty gangsters have been posting various claims on social media. I will avenge the killing of Jagroop Singh Rupa and Manpreet Mannu. The revenge will be such that it will find a mention in history, " he said.
Jagroop Singh Roopa and Manpreet Mannu were killed in a nearly five-hour-long encounter with the Punjab Police in July for their alleged involvement in Moose Wala's murder.
Brar had then claimed that he had urged Jagroop Singh Rupa and Manpreet Mannu to surrender but they refused, and fought like "deadly lions."
Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead in his SUV near his village Moosa in Punjab's Mansa district on June 29.
A day after Moose Wala was murdered, Goldy Brar had admitted in a Facebook post that he planned it to avenge the killing of another gangster.
