SANGRUR : Patiala zone inspector general of police (IGP) Jatinder Singh Aulakh has handed over the supervisio­n of investigat­ion into a firing case registered against Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala in Barnala district to Sangrur senior superinten­dent of police (SSP) Sandeep Garg instead of Barnala SSP Sandeep Goel. Moose Wala has another case registered against him in Sangrur. Garg will now supervise investigat­ion in both the FIRs.

The two cases relate to firing from a police assault rifle at Badbar village of Barnala, and another of firing at the Ladda Kothi shooting range of Sangrur on May 5.

“I have decided to handover the supervisio­n of both the cases to one SSP. However, SPs of Barnala and Sangrur will continue their investigat­ion independen­tly,” Aulakh said.

“Both the SPs probing the cases will now report to me. Sidhu Moose Wala has been booked under non-bailable offences and will be arrested soon,” SSP Garg said. HTC
