How was Sidhu Moose Wala killed?

Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moose Wala, passed away at age 28. He was known as one of the most influential Punjabi singers, who also became a politician after joining the Congress party. The singer was travelling in his Mahindra Thar SUV to visit his aunt in Barnala when he was shot dead in broad daylight. 

Sidhu Moose Wala died after unidentified assailants opened fire while he was travelling in Punjab's Mansa district. His friends Gurvinder Singh and Gurpreet Singh, who were also in the car, survived the attack. Sidhu Moose Wala was shot over 30 times by around eight to 10 attackers, police sources had earlier said. 

Bullets found at the spot of the murder site indicate that AN 94 Russian assault rifle was also used in the attack. However, Vicky suggests that his experience tells that it is not possible to use AN 94 for killing, as the AN-94 is a rare weapon and its chances of getting it in India are very less.
