In March last year two interviews of Lawrence Bishnoi were aired by a TV channel when he was in the custody of Punjab Police. The interviews coincided with the first death anniversary of singer Sidhu Moosewala. Balkaur Singh Sidhu, father of the deceased singer had then alleged that police were hand in glove with the gangster. Later, the SIT found out his allegations to be true. On January 5, the SIT probing the case registered cases and charges of extortion, concealment of evidence, intentionally withholding information about an offence, criminal intimidation, abetment of offences that are punishable by imprisonment, criminal conspiracy and Prisons (Punjab Amendment) Act, 2011. But in its final report submitted in a court in Mohali on October 9, the charges were filed under criminal intimidation against Bishnoi. The Punjab and Haryana High Court had stayed the proceedings the very next day. Bishnoi is an alleged accused in the Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala case and also suspected conspirator in the Baba Siddique murder case in Mumbai.
