About the BookA POWERFUL BOOK THAT DETAILS THE DEATH AND THE SUBSEQUENT INVESTIGATION OF THE MURDER OF ONE OF THE RISING SUPERSTARS OF PUNJABI HIP-HOP.On 29 May 2022, Punjabi rapper Sidhu Moosewala left his haveli in Moosa for a quick ride to his aunt's house in the neighbouring village. He was never to return home. The singer was ambushed and gunned down by six assailants. He was only twenty-eight.The news of his death spread like wildfire; fans thronged to his village in Mansa district to pay their last respects. Others mourned him on social media.

With his sudden and violent death, the questions about his life became louder-as also those around his death. Who had killed Moosewala?
