MOOSEWALA KILLERS GOT ARMS AN HOUR BEFORE ATTACK: POLICE
NEW DELHI: Arms and ammunitions used in the murder of Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moosewala were delivered just an hour before the incident on May 29 by some unknown motorcycle-borne people, Priyavrat Fauji, one of the six shooters involved in the killing, told the Delhi Police special cell, senior officers said on Tuesday.
Fauji and another shooter Kuldeep alias Kashish were arrested from Baroi village in Gujarat’s Kutch district on Sunday, officers said, adding that Keshav Kumar, a facilitator who received the shooters, was also arrested.
The interrogation of Fauji and Kashish is on, said a senior officer of the special cell. The accused also said that the weapons used in the murder were supplied from across the border, the officer said requesting anonymity. “Of the six shooters involved in the murder, four criminals — Ankit Sirsa, Deepak, Jagroop Roopa and Manpreet Mannu — are still at large. While Sirsa and Deepak were accompanying Fauji and Kashish in the Bolero that intercepted Moosewala’s vehicle from the back, Roopa and Mannu attacked the singer’s vehicles from the front in Toyota Corolla,” the officer told HT. “We have got certain possible locations of Sirsa and Deepak who were with the arrested shooters two-three days before their arrest…” Fauji and Kashish are in the custody till July 4. The communication with the facilitators, supplier of arms and vehicles, recipients and the backup conspirators was so discreet that even the killer didn’t know about others,” the officer said.
