Although official confirmation is pending, sources suggest that Brar’s rivals, identified as Arsh Dalla and Lakhbir, have claimed responsibility for the attack, citing longstanding animosity. The rivalry between the gangs reportedly intensified following Moosewala’s murder in Jawaharke village of Mansa on May 29, 2022.
Initially, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for Moosewala’s murder. However, Brar later confessed to the crime during a televised interview. He attributed Moosewala’s alleged involvement in the killing of Lawrence’s associate, Vicky Midukhera, as the motive behind the murder. Brar admitted to masterminding the crime and purportedly dispatched six gunmen from Haryana and Punjab to carry out the plan.
