The murder of a singer in the northern Indian state of Punjab, a day after his security cover was trimmed, has sparked outrage.

28 year old, Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, popularly known as Sidhu Moosewala, was shot by unidentified people while he was travelling in the state's Mansa district on Sunday evening.

Two others were injured in the attack.

The murder led to a political storm in the state, with opposition leaders criticising the government and police.

State police chief VK Bhawra had said on Sunday that a Canada-based gangster had claimed responsibility for the attack.
