'The Killing Call': Despite father’s court plea, foreign media releases Sidhu Moose Wala documentary on YouTube; features Goldy Brar's audio clip

BATHINDA: Despite slain rapper Shubhdeep Singh, known as Sidhu Moose Wala, having his father Balkaur approach the court to request a stay on the screening of a documentary about his son, a foreign media company released it on YouTube ahead of its scheduled screening in Mumbai.

This release coincided with the 32nd birth anniversary of Moose Wala.In parallel with the documentary's release, the family is also expected to release another song by Moose Wala on the day he was born in 1993.The foreign media has released two episodes of the documentary, featuring some of Moose Wala’s old friends and senior police officers. The video also includes an audio interview with gangster Goldy Brar, who is one of the masterminds behind the cold-blooded murder of Moose Wala on May 29, 2022, a day after his security was lowered.The first episode of the documentary, titled 'The Killing Call', focuses on Moose Wala’s early life, rise to fame, and the controversies surrounding his career. The second part is about the killing of the Punjabi singer, who rose to great heights.The foreign media, in its YouTube video description, wrote: “On 29 May 2022, Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala was murdered by hired hitmen who followed his car, shot him through the windscreen, and left him to die.

As news of the killing spread across India and around the world, a gangster named Goldy Brar claimed responsibility for the hit. But three years later, no one has been convicted of this murder, the motives remain murky, and Goldy Brar is still on the run.The documentary team has been talking to some of the people closest to Sidhu Moose Wala, tracing his rise from obscurity to stardom, finding out how he made enemies of India’s most feared gang, and asking why they wanted him dead.It adds, “It’s a story that takes us from the villages of rural India to the hip-hop scene of eastern Canada, from the turbulent history of Punjab to the contested politics of modern India, and from the shadowy world of organised crime to a chilling phone call with the fugitive gangster who says he ordered the hit.Based on hours of unseen archive and exclusive access to Sidhu’s friends and musical collaborators, the film features voices that have never spoken to the media before.”The court of civil judge senior division adjourned the matter to June 12.Moosewala’s father, Balkaur Singh's counsel, Satinder Pal Singh Mittal, said on Tuesday that the matter is sub judice. We are hopeful that the documentary will not be made public.
