BJP Leader Moves Supreme Court Over Sidhu Moose Wala's Murder, Demands CBI Probe

BJP leader Jagjit Singh argued that Moose Wala's killing has completely shaken public confidence in Punjab.

Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Jagjit Singh on Friday, 3 June, moved the Supreme Court over the murder of singer Sidhu Moose Wala, and demanding a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the matter.

Singh argued in his Public Interest Litigation (PIL) that Moose Wala's killing has completely shaken public confidence in Punjab.

It also said that not only has the state government "miserably failed" in preventing the incident from taking place, but it has also not been able to put a stop to gang wars that has created a "storm of fear and terror" in Punjab, PTI reported.

"That there is a storm of fear and terror in the state of Punjab which warrants interference by this Hon'ble Court as fundamental rights of entire population of Punjab have been jeopardised at large," the PIL stated.
