Amit Shah, the union home minister, will meet with the family of Punjabi singer and rapper Sidhu Moose Wala, whose murder sent shockwaves across the nation last week.

At the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) headquarters in Chandigarh, he will meet the family. The minister is in the city to inaugurate Khelo India Games. Additionally, he will address the leaders of the Punjab BJP at a meeting.

Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, also known as Moose Wala, was fatally shot in his car on May 29 by unknown assailants in the northern state of Punjab. Inter-gang rivalry was said to be behind the murder, according to police.

A Canadian gangster known as Goldy Brar has claimed responsibility in a social media post.
