An encounter broke out on Wednesday between the Punjab police and the gangsters suspected in killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala. Sources told that a gangster was killed in the encounter that took place in Amritsar's Bhakna village.
The gangsters involved in the encounter are reported to be Manpreet Manu Kussa, and Jagroop Roopa, who the Punjab police had identified through CCTV footage.
Famous Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead on May 29 in Punjab's Mansa district, a day after the state government curtailed his security cover.
Moosewala's cousin and a friend, who were travelling in a Mahindra Thar jeep with him, were also injured in the attack. Moosewala, 28, had fought the recent assembly election on a Congress ticket from Mansa and was defeated by the AAP's Vijay Singla.
