The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has questioned Afsana Khan, a close friend of late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, in connection with his murder case, as the anti-terror probe agency is investigating the gangster and terrorist links behind the shootout leading to his death.

According to police sources, the central probe agency summoned Khan for questioning after the celebrity was on the radar of the NIA since raids were recently conducted in the murder case. Sources further said the murder’s motive was ‘personal enmity’, adding that Khan was questioned on why exactly Moosewala had been on the radar of the Lawrence Bishnoi gangster group.

Reports said that NIA suspects that Afsana Khan, who had a sisterly relation with Moosewala, may also have a hand in the murder case. It added that NIA suspects that there is a connection between Afsana and the Bambiha gang. Moosewala’s family had complained to the police about Afsana and a notice had been given by the Mansa police for questioning the Punjabi singer, but then she ‘escaped’ citing being out somewhere, a media report said.

The 28-year-old Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead on May 29 this year. The killers fired about 30 rounds from weapons including AK-47, AK-94 when the singer had left his home for some work.
