The murder of the singer-politician is also being seen as a political turn of events which comes on the heels of a change of guard in Punjab and barely months after Bhagwant Mann took charge.

This comes a month after the Punjab government in April ordered the withdrawal of the security cover of 184 persons, including former ministers and ex-MLAs, and other leaders.

Among those who lost their cover are former ministers Bibi Jagir Kaur, Madan Mohan Mittal, Surjit Kumar Rakhra, Sucha Singh Chottepur, Janmeja Singh Sekhon, Tota Singh, and Gulzar Singh Ranike.
