The Mansa police station has become an unsettling graveyard for the vehicles used by the assailants involved in the tragic incident that took the life of Sidhu Moosewala. The sequence of events unfolded when Sandeep Kekda, acting as an informant, relayed vital information to the shooters stationed in the Bolero and Corolla vehicles.

It was Manpreet Mannu who initiated the attack by overtaking Moosewala's Thar vehicle and opening fire. Shortly after, another group of assailants emerged from the Corolla vehicle, where six individuals unleashed a hail of bullets upon Sidhu Moosewala. Tragically, the Bolero vehicle carried the treacherous leader of this orchestrated crime.

Overwhelmed by grief, she knelt down and touched the ground where her beloved son had fallen victim to the fatal attack.
