Popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala was gunned down by unidentified assailants in Jawaharke village of Mansa district on Sunday, days after his security cover was withdrawn by the state government.

The attack took place in a residential area. Sidhu Moose Wala’s convoy was ambushed at a turn in the road. As vehicles had to slow down to make the turn, the gunmen took advantage of this and intercepted the singer’s car.

The spot where Moose Wala was killed is testimony to the violence that played out. The hail of bullets fired by the attackers shattered car windows and left vehicles and walls of nearby buildings riddled with bullet holes. See pictures:
