On May 29, 2022, in Punjab's Mansa region, Moosewala, who ran for office last year on a Congress ticket, was shot and killed by unidentified attackers. Gang strife in the state was a factor in his demise. The assailants fired over 30 rounds at Moosewala, who was found slumped in the driver's seat by locals.
The investigation suggested Lawrence Bishnoi was the mastermind of the daylight killing. His close aide Goldy Brar, who is said to be based in Canada, was also under investigation in this case. Bishnoi was arrested on November 23 by the National Investigation Agency in connection with a claimed plot to enlist young people to carry out terrorist attacks in Delhi and other regions of the nation.
