On Wednesday, Mann congratulated the Punjab Police for a successful operation against gangsters after two suspects in the Sidhu Moosewala murder were killed after an exchange of fire near Amritsar.
The gangsters were identified as Jagroop Singh Roopa and Manpreet Singh. The encounter came amid the Punjab Police tailing the two suspects. The shootout took place at the Bhakna village, 20 km from Amritsar.
Before the shootout ensued, the police asked all residents to stay indoors. While the police are yet to inform what happened to Mannu, they said as many as eight shooters were arrested from the spot.

In terms of vote share, AAP managed to bag around 42.01% votes, Congress has 22.98% and BJP has 6.6%. Meanwhile, Bhagwant Mann won from the Dhuri seat with a margin of 58,206 votes against Congress candidate Dalvir Singh Goldy.
