Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, the main accused in the murder case of singer Sidhu Moose Wala, was taken to the Faridkot medical college from Bathinda jail after his health condition worsened late on Monday.
Bishnoi has been moved from the emergency ward to another room under heavy security, a Hindustan Times report stated.
Previously, Bishnoi had denied his involvement in Moose Wala’s murder and had claimed that it was Goldy Brar who committed the murder. He had stated that the late singer’s assassination was being planned for a year, the report mentioned.
In an alleged TV interview from jail, Bishnoi had said that Brar had killed Moose Wala to avenge the death of Vicky Muddukhera, a close aide of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.

Bishnoi alleged that the people involved in Muddukhera’s death were being shielded by the late singer, said reports.
Moose Wala, was shot dead in Mansa, Punjab, on May 29, 2022, a day after Punjab government took back the security he was provided.
Police had identified Bishnoi as the main accused in June last year, a month after Moosewala’s killing and also identified four shooters. Two of the shooters arrested were found to be belonging to the Kala Jatheri-Lawrence Bishnoi-Naresh Sethi gang.
In recent past, Bishnoi had also given death threats to actor Salman Khan, stating that it’s his ‘life goal’. In an interview with ABP news in March, the gangster had said that Salman Khan was arrogant and his ego was bigger than that of Ravana.
He made this threat days after his allegation that Khan had insulted his community by killing a blackbuck. He had asked the actor to visit their diety’s temple and seek apology for his act. The Ek Tha Tiger actor has been on Bishnoi’s radar for a long time now.
Following these threats from Bishnoi, Salman Khan’s security was beefed up. The amount of security increased for the actor was based on the threat analysis results. The actor’s safety has been ensured by the security team.
