Balkaur Singh, the assassinated rapper-turned-politician's father, said he had sought time from the director general of police and if nothing happened in another month, he would withdraw his complaint and leave the country.

“My child was murdered in a planned way. Police want to show it as a gang war incident. I've sought time from DGP to hear my problems. I'll wait for a month, if nothing happens, I'll withdraw my FIR & leave the country,” Singh said.

Moose Wala was murdered on May 29 this year, a day after his security was reduced by the AAP-led Punjab government, Mansa district of the border state.

A number of arrests has since been made in the case by both the Punjab and Delhi Police, including gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and a couple of his associates.
