After the shooting, Moose Wala was taken to the hospital where he was confirmed dead, Bhawra told reporters.Bhawra told reporters that the rapper left his home in a car with two other people around 4:30 p.m. local time. About one hour later, two other cars approached Moose Wala's from the front and opened fire, CNN reported, citing Bhawra.Bhawra said that the police department's initial investigation into the attack determined that the shooting was linked to gang rivalry, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/sidhu-moose-wala-dies-age-28-shooting-indian-punjabi-rapper/">CBS News reported</a>. But India's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has accused Punjab's ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of allowing the shooting to occur. "Sidhu Moose Wala was gunned down in a state-sponsored murder," the Bharatiya Janata Party said in a statement, according to CNN. "The AAP government is totally responsible for this."<a href="https://twitter.com/BhagwantMann/status/1530916113852248065">Punjab chief minister Bhagwant Mann, a member of the AAP, said</a> he is "shocked and deeply saddened by the gruesome murder of Siddhu Moose Wala," and that "nobody involved will be spared."Protests broke out following Moose Wala's <keyword id="6355784" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="death" source="Orion">death</keyword>, with members of the Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee taking to the streets Monday following the <keyword id="11893589" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="news" source="Orion">news</keyword>. <div type="image" title="Sidhu Moose Wala death protests" height="3457" width="4610" msid="91925645" hostid="261"></div>The shooting came just one day after the Punjab government pulled security coverage for more than 400 officials, Moose Wala being one, CNN reported, citing the Press Trust of India. Moose Wala still had some protection, though, with two guards available to him. He chose not to use them on Sunday, Bhawra told reporters. "When he left his house, he did not take commando [guards] with them and told them that they did not need to come," Bhawra said, according to CNN.Moose Wala rose to fame after his first release in 2017, becoming a prominent musician and a household name. Rapper Drake shared the news of Moose Wala's death in a since-deleted Instagram post, adding "RIP Moose" in the caption, according to CNN. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CeLYTq8DM2a/">British rapper Stefflon Don shared a slideshow</a> of images and videos of Moose Wala on her Instagram in memorial.

Gone way, way too soon. Thank you for changing the game.

Star Indian rapper Sidhu Moose Wala shot dead at 28 in Punjab, police say

A group of more than 30 banks that country’s biggest lender <keyword id="13222" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="SBI">SBI</keyword> is leading, has decided that they would no more lend money to Punjab government's food purchases this season, knowing that questions about seemingly missing stocks worth as much as Rs 20,000 crore are still unanswered. 
 
This move has come after the central bank asked lenders to set aside money against loans to the tune of Rs 12,000 crore or more and treat them as NPAs, even though these loans are generally not in danger of default as they are considered to be sovereign debts. 
 
"We will not lend this season unless the problem is resolved," said one of the bankers. "How can we? The state has to come up with a concrete proposal on how they would repay and reconcile the stocks without which we won't lend," the banker added. 
 
This could lead to a disruption in India’s agricultural economy since the last two monsoons haven’t been quite good, and Punjab, the biggest food grain buyer of India would need as much as Rs 40,000 crore in loans. 
 
Bankers in the group are scheduled to meet today to discuss the issue, where in they would probably decide to lobby the regulator this week, and also raise the sovereign debt question. 
 
On the other hand, the Punjab government has said that there had been no misuse of funds, also pointing out that the grain purchases are done for the entire country. 
 
"Funds availed by the state government on account of food credit limits have been utilised for food procurement operations, in the national interest," the Punjab government said on Friday. "There has been no misutilisation of funds, and... the differential amount is on account of difference between claims and amounts received," it added. "The matter regarding the outstandings/receivables pertaining to the food credit account of the state is already under discussion with GoI (government of India)," it said. "A joint committee of GoI and state government has been looking into the gamut of issues on this account, and the matter is being deliberated upon so as to settle the claim of the FCI/GoP (government of Punjab)." 
 On a separate note, the Comptroller and Auditor General of India has raised questions about Punjab’s food grain procurement through various agencies like <keyword id="3327682" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Punjab-State-Warehousing-Corp">Punjab State Warehousing Corp</keyword>, <keyword id="3327683" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Punjab-Agro-Food-Corp">Punjab Agro Food Corp</keyword>, <keyword id="3327684" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Punjab-Grain-Procurement-Corp">Punjab Grain Procurement Corp</keyword> and <keyword id="3327685" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Punjab-State-Civil-Supplies-Corp">Punjab State Civil Supplies Corp</keyword>, since a majority of the number of vehicles supposedly used for transportation could not be traced.

This could be real bad news for Punjab. Banks might not lend anymore to the state government to purchase food

Here are the latest government job vacancies at PNB, SAMEER, and other government agencies

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting on Tuesday ordered the blocking of apps, website and social media accounts linked to the banned organisation, Sikhs For Justice (SFJ). In a statement, the Ministry said it has ordered the blocking of apps, website, and social media accounts of foreign-based 'Punjab Politics TV' having close links with the SFJ, deemed unlawful under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967. "Relying on intelligence inputs that the channel was attempting to use online media to disturb public order during the ongoing State Assembly Elections, the Ministry used emergency powers under the IT Rules on February 18 to block the digital media resources of Punjab Politics TV," it said. The Ministry claimed that the contents of the blocked apps, website, and social media accounts had the potential to incite communal disharmony and separatism; and were found to be detrimental to the sovereignty and integrity of India, security of the state, and public order. "It was also observed that the launch of new apps and social media accounts was timed to gain traction during the ongoing elections. The government of India remains vigilant and committed to secure the overall information environment in India and thwart any actions having the potential to undermine India's sovereignty and integrity," it added. In January, the Ministry had ordered the blocking of 35 YouTube-based news channels and two websites which were involved in spreading fake news against India in a coordinated manner over digital media. In December last year, the Centre blocked 20 YouTube channels and two websites when the emergency powers under the IT Rules, 2021 were first utilised.
