Barnala, Sept 13: Police authorities in Barnala have initiated a comprehensive probe after motorcycle-borne individuals fired multiple shots at the residence of Punjabi singer Gulab Sidhu in Pharwahi village. Visual footage captured from nearby security cameras showing three individuals approaching the location on a two-wheeler has been taken into account by investigating officers.
A audio recording circulating online features an individual claiming responsibility for the act, alleging personal grievances regarding the singer’s recent professional engagements and associations. Senior law enforcement officials maintained that the authenticity of the recording and any potential gang involvement remain unconfirmed pending further verification.
The incident follows previous law enforcement intervention in January, when individuals were taken into custody regarding alleged extortion networks targeting public figures in the region. State police continue to monitor the situation while maintaining active security arrangements for the family.
