Union Home Minister Amit Shah met slain Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala's parents in Chandigarh on Saturday, 4 June.

This comes a day after Punjab CM Bhagwat Mann, who has faced severe criticism for scaling down Moose Wala's state-security and 442 other VVIPs, met the singer's family on Friday and assured them that his killers would soon be put behind bars.

According to Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, the Punjabi singer's family had written a letter to the home minister seeking a probe by central agencies into Moose Wala's brutal murder.

Shah arrived in Chandigarh on Saturday and held a meeting with Punjab BJP leaders. Later in the day, he inaugurated the 'Khelo India Youth Games' in Panchkula, Haryana, in the presence of Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar.

Earlier, state Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema and Rural Development Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal also visited Moose Wala's house, Hindustan Times reported.

Moose Wala was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Mansa on May 29. According to the autopsy report, Moose Wala's body bore 19 bullet injury marks.
