As Punjabi music fans around the world mark the third death anniversary of Sidhu Moosewala, tributes poured in for the late singer whose legacy continues to inspire millions. A solemn bhog ceremony was held at his native village in Mansa, drawing crowds of devoted fans and grieving loved ones.
Sidhu Moosewala, born Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, was tragically gunned down in broad daylight on May 29, 2022, in a brutal attack that sent shjckwaves across the country. Though three years have passed since that dark day, the pain remains fresh for his family and admirers.
At the ceremony, Moosewala’s mother, Charan Kaur, was seen holding her newborn son—fondly referred to by fans as “Junior Sidhu Moosewala weeping uncontrollably recounting the black day of her life.
Sidhu Moosewala's mother Charan Kaur shared an emotional post on her social media while remembering her son.
“Son, sometimes you were three days old, three months old, and sometimes three years old after you were born, and your presence in our lives increased our strength to fight against every difficulty. Today it’s been three years since your pens filled emotions waiting for justice. The cries of justice have not been able to sway the instrument of our patient intentions, son! Your words still demand justice, and we will continue to support you for truth and justice," the post read.
Even in death, Moosewala’s music continues to resonate globally. Known for hits like So High, 295, Bambiha Bole, and Issa Jatt, Moosewala carved a unique space in Punjabi music. His debut album PBX 1 made it to the Billboard Canadian Albums Chart, and he performed at high-profile events such as the Wireless Festival in the UK. The singer also starred in Punjabi films like Moosa Jatt and Yes I Am Student.
Since his passing, multiple posthumous releases have kept his voice alive, reaffirming his enduring influence in the music industry.
On May 29, 2022, Moosewala was travelling with two friends in a black Thar SUV when a group of armed assailants ambushed and opened fire on the vehicle in Jawaharke village near Mansa. He was killed on the spot. The incident sparked national outrage and raised serious concerns about the reduction in his police security just a day before the attack.
The family has long alleged that lapses in security and delays by the Aam Aadmi Party-led Punjab government have hampered the delivery of justice. Charges have been framed against all 22 accused, including notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Currently the case is holding at evidence stage where Moosewala's father is yet to record his statement as witness.
Nearly two years after the tragedy, the family found a new ray of hope when Charan Kaur gave birth to a baby boy via IVF on March 17, 2024.
As the legal battle continues, Moosewala’s voice remains a powerful symbol of resistance, resilience, and the unyielding demand for justice.
