The arrest comes a month after chief minister Bhagwant Mann issued a warning while the Aam Aadmi Party had been attacking the leader earlier too.

Meanwhile, the Congress leader’s visit to Moose Wala’s family home in their native village of the Mansa district will be the first since the 28-year-old rapper died on May 30. He had a huge following not just in India but Canada too.
