According to the latest Indian Express report, Special CP (Special Cell) H S Dhaliwal shared that Delhi police officials have gathered vital information against four of the eight men who allegedly shot Moosewala. “Mahakal was interrogated and he told police that he had introduced two Maharashtra-based shooters, Santosh Jadhav and Navnath Suryavanshi, to Brar,” he said.
“Brar is currently in Canada. He was earlier working with the gangster Anandpal of Rajasthan, but after Anandpal was killed in an encounter, he joined Bishnoi’s gang. More than two dozen cases are registered against Barad,” a senior police officer reportedly said.
Meanwhile, Dhaliwal also elaborated on Moosewala’s death and said that it was an organised and brazen killing. He maintained that the police officials have issued eight pictures of the suspects and six-shooters were identified. Notably, out of them all, the officials have established the role of the four accused in the murder.
The Indian Express report further quoted the senior Maharashtra police officer saying, “Kamble was not directly involved in the attack on Moosewala. But as per the information we have received, he knew that Moosewala will be murdered as Vikram Brar had discussed Moosewala with him”.
