Most of his songs have an English title even though they are mostly sung in Punjabi. His rap lyrics and music videos usually focus on Hip-hop and macho culture. Moose Wala was known for his controversial lyrical style. In December 2020, Moose Wala released the single “Panjab: My Motherland”, in which he glorified Khalistani separatist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. The song also includes visuals from a speech made by Khalistani supporter Bharpur Singh Balbir in the late 1980s. Also in his songs, he often promoted gun culture, along with challenging religious sentiments as was the case related to Mai Bhago, a revered and respected figure in Sikhism. In 2020, police charged him under India’s Arms Act for allegedly promoting gun culture in one of his songs. He had faced legal challenges for promoting gun culture and using inciting and provocative lyrics in his songs several times. As of 2022, there were four ongoing criminal cases against him.

Moose Wala was a member of the Indian National Congress, and unsuccessfully contested the 2022 Punjab Legislative Assembly election from Mansa and was defeated by AAP’s Dr Vijay Singla. His close aides have said that his family has been supportive of congress from long ago as he came into politics following his mother who became sarpanch by winning the election on behalf of congress.

The Bhagwant Mann-led Aam Aadmi Party government withdrew the security cover provided to 424 people in Punjab on a temporary basis this Friday in order to ensure a law and order situation ahead of the 38th anniversary of Operation Bluestar. Within 24 hours after his security was withdrawn by the Punjab government, he was shot by gangsters near his ancestral village Jawaharke in district Mansa. More than 30 rounds were fired aiming at the vehicle he was in. According to the police investigation, Sidhu appeared to sustain more than eight bullet injuries and was taken to the Mansa civil hospital. He was on the radar of gangsters for a long time. Six people have reportedly been detained in connection with the murder.

Sidhu’s father demanded that investigations be handed over to the CBI or NIA. Also, to fix the responsibility of officers who leaked the withdrawal of security outside.

Punjab’s chief minister Bhagwant Mann agreed and said: “no culprit will be spared”.

Rahul Gandhi expressed his condolences over the killing through Twitter as he said he was “deeply shocked and saddened by the murder of a promising Congress leader and talented artist”. His funeral is to take place this afternoon at his village Mansa
