New Delhi

In a major breakthrough, Delhi Police on Monday claimed to have arrested three persons, including two main shooters in the killing of famed Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.

A cache of arms and explosives was also recovered by the Delhi Police's Special Cell including 3 pistols with 50 rounds.

The two arrested shooters have been identified as Priyavrat and Kashish. Both of them were spotted on a CCTV at a petrol pump in Fatehgarh before the murder. 

Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar had claimed responsibility for Moosewala's murder in a Facebook post. Goldy Brar is a close aide of gang leader Lawrence Bishnoi, who is the chief suspect in the Punjabi rapper's murder.

Bishnoi was produced before Chief Judicial Magistrate on June 15, where the Punjab Police got 7 days remand of the wanted criminal.

Notably, the singer had joined the Congress party last year in December ahead of the Assembly elections.
