The murder of famed Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala is not under investigation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), official sources said on Monday.
The clarification came after the counter-terror agency on Monday conducted searches at 50 places across North India in the investigation of cases against activities of gangsters with international and inter-state ramifications.
"NIA is conducting searches today at 50 places across North India relating to investigation of cases against activities of gangsters having serious International and inter-state ramifications. The case of Sidhu Moose Wala murder is not under investigation by NIA," said official sources.
The searches were conducted in Delhi, NCR, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and many other locations in a recently registered case against activities of 'terror gangs', who are involved in sensational murders to terrorise common citizens. Sources said these gang members are indulged in extortion, drug smuggling, and other organised criminal activities to finance their nefarious designs.
