New Delhi: Two more men allegedly involved in the killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala have been arrested by Delhi Police's Special Cell, officials said on Monday.

The two, including a 19-year-old Shooter, were arrested from capital’s ISBT (Inter State Bus Terminus) on Sunday night. 

“We arrested them from ISBT, Kashmere Gate when they came to board a bus. We have recovered two pistols, with 19 live cartridges, three police uniforms of the Punjab Police and two mobile handsets, along with a dongle and SIM,” a senior police officer said.

The criminals have been identified as Ankit Sirsa, 19,  and Sachin Choudhary alias Sachin Bhiwani, 24. 

Officers said Ankit Sirsa was previously wanted in two attempt-to-murder cases in Rajasthan. 

“The other accused, Sachin Bhiwani, was responsible for harbouring four of the shooters after the incident. He is also wanted in a heinous case in Churu, Rajasthan,” a senior police officer said.

Sidhu Moose Wala was killed on May 29 in Punjab’s Mansa by assailants who waylaid the vehicle he was driving and opened fire, killing him on the spot. Gangsters Goldy Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi later took responsibility for the murder on social media.

Six “shooters” have so far been identified by the Delhi Police Special Cell, which is questioning jailed gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi, Kala Rana and Kala Jathedi in connection with the Moose Wala murder.
