'Either him or us': Brar on Moosewala murder

Brar said that Moosewala, who had joined the Congress before he was killed in a dramatic shootout in 2022, allegedly first came in contact with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi years before but the relationship soured over a village kabaddi match where Moosewala allegedly supported a rival team.

"Moosewala's actions had left him and his associates no choice. He (Moosewala) crossed lines which he shouldn't have. We had no option but to kill him. He had to face the consequences of his actions. It was either him or us. As simple as that," said Brar, who is on the run and is believed to be in Canada.
