This comes a week after the NIA had questioned Punjabi singer and a close friend of Sidhu Moose Wala, Afsana Khan in New Delhi with a special focus on her association with the slain Punjabi singer. She shared close proximity with Moose Wala and used to call herself his sister.

As per sources, during interrogation, both were questioned about their links with the Bishnoi gang and its head, Lawrence Bishnoi, who is a mastermind in Moose Wala’s murder. Further, sources said that the NIA also sought other information, including details of upcoming music albums and financial investment from both singers. As per NIA sources, both were interrogated separately.

The Bambiha gang and the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which according to the police, had allegedly orchestrated the murder of Moose Wala, are arch rivals. The NIA had conducted massive raids at least twice to unearth the criminal gangster network.

As per sources, Khan was also grilled about her association with Davinder Bambiha gang on the basis of inputs collected during questioning of a few gangsters arrested recently in relation to Moose Wala’s murder.
