During an Instagram Live, Mankirat Aulakh said that he doesn't belong to any gangster group. "Whatever I am, I am because of my hard work. I am not afraid that someone will kill me," he added. 

Notably, there were reports that the Davinder Bambiha gang had alleged that Aulakh was involved in Moose Wala's death. Meanwhile, Aulakh reportedly alleged that he too received death threats last month and had urged the authorities to increase his security cover. 

Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead on Sunday evening in the Mansa district of Punjab, a day after his security cover was withdrawn by the Punjab government.

Hours after his killing, the Canada-based gangster Satinder Singh alias Goldy Brar claimed responsibility for Sidhu Moose Wala's death. Also, Goldy Brar is allegedly a close associate of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
