Sidhu Moose Wala murder case: SC grants bail to Pawan Bishnoi, Jagtar Singh
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Thursday granted bail to two accused — Pawan Kumar Bishnoi and Jagtar Singh — in the 2022 murder case of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala.
A Bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta granted relief to the accused while hearing their Special Leave Petitions (SLPs) challenging the order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court refusing them bail.
Pawan Bishnoi is alleged to be part of a module that provided logistical support for the murder, including arranging the vehicle allegedly used in the crime.
His counsel argued before the apex court that the allegation against him was limited to providing a Bolero vehicle, adding that Bishnoi has been in custody for nearly four years and that the trial’s conclusion is likely to take considerable time.
On the other hand, the Punjab Police opposed the bail plea, contending that Bishnoi had allegedly received multiple calls from co-accused persons in connection with arranging the vehicle used in the murder.
