Moose Wala was cremated on Tuesday at his native village Moosa in the Mansa district amid a sea of crowd who gathered to pay their tributes to the singer.

"We have also traced the route used by them to escape. Some important clues were found on the abandoned vehicles, which were used in the crime. Apart from that joint coordination of state police including cyber cells. After getting leads during the investigation, police arrested one person and brought two members of the Lawrance Bishnoi gang on production warrants. So gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's involvement is to be probed. We are sure that they have strong information regarding this module," the SSP said.

Toora added that the police have information that Bishnoi is presently in the custody of the Delhi Police. "So, as per law, we cannot seek his remand right now. The SIT will make him join the investigation and his role will be probed," he said.

On Tuesday, Toora said the police were probing the role of groups of gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar as they have taken responsibility for the incident.
