Chandigarh: Father of Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moose Wala, Balkar Singh has alleged that some of his close friends and politicians were behind the assassination.

He said that Sidhu Moosewala was murdered as he had risen through the ranks of popularity in a very short time and some people could not tolerate this.
