Moose Wala, true name Shubhdeep Singh, was assassinated last year on May 29 in Punjab’s Mansa district.
With songs like ‘So High’, ‘Same Beef’, ‘The Last Ride’, ‘Just Listen’ and ‘295’, the singer-rapper gained a cult following in India and internationally.
On Monday, a candle march was held in Mansa in remembrance of Moose Wala.
Fans and followers of the late musician came in great numbers to Moosa Hamlet to take part in a candle march to seek justice for him.
Charan Jaur, Moose Wala’s mother, also joined the march.
In memory of the slain singer, prayers were held at a gurdwara in Jawahar Ke village.
