Moosewala was shot dead by assailants in Punjab’s Mansa district on May 29.
Three friends from Ganganagar in Rajasthan reached Mansa at 4am on Wednesday to pay respects to Moosewala. “We were shocked when we came to know about the death of Moosewala,” said one of them.
They were sporting T-shirts with pictures of Moosewala printed on them and the message ‘Legends never die’.

A group of youth, who were carrying posters of Moosewala, came from Fatehabad and Sirsa districts of Haryana to attend the ceremony and they demanded that those behind the heinous crime be brought to justice at the earliest.
Three friends from Haryana’s Panipat said they loved Moosewala’s songs and came here to attend the ‘bhog’ ceremony.

Several children who came with their families could be seen dressed like the singer.
A family from Ludhiana distributed badges carrying pictures of Moosewala.
After Moosewala’s killing, the state police had termed the incident as a case of an inter-gang rivalry. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang was said to be behind the murder.
Canada-based Goldy Brar, who is a member of the Bishnoi gang, had claimed the responsibility for the murder.
This murder was in retaliation of youth Akali leader Vicky Middukhera’s murder that took place last year. With PTI inputs
