Chandigarh: Balkaur Singh Sidhu, father of late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, said that he was very happy about arrest of gangster Goldy Brar and is now hopeful of getting justice.

Brar is the mastermind of killing Sidhu Moosewala.

Talking to reporters at his home in Moosa village near Mansa, he said he was very happy about his arrest and was now hopeful of getting justice. He said efforts should be made to bring him to India as soon as possible and a narco test should be conducted to ascertain the real truth.

He also said that if Lawrence Bishnoi and the people of the music world are made to sit in front of each other and investigated, then the reality can be brought out.

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann during a press in Gujarat confirmed the development and said that gangster Goldy Brar has been detained by the California police and he will be extradited to India soon.

Lambasting the previous governments for misleading the youngsters, CM Mann said that gangsters were not born in the eight months that his government has benn in power in Punjab, but had been patronised by the previous Congress and SAD-BJP regimes. He said, AAP, however, adopted a zero tolerance against gangster-culture and gun-culture to ensure law and order in the state.
