"Due to such threats, I have already shifted my family abroad and I and my manager are going through worse mental pressure due to these threats," mentions the letter. 

SIDHU MOOSEWALA KILLING

It also states the brutal killing of famous Punjabi singer and politician Sidhu Moosewala which took place in the broad daylight. He was shot dead by assailants in Mansa district on May 29, 2022, leaving his family, friends and celebrities worldwide in a state of shock and profound grief.
