SP Digant Anand said, "the role of history-sheeter Arshad Ali of Sardarshahr Police Station has been suspicious in a vehicle involved in the Sidhu Moose Wala's murder case. Due to this, about a month-and-a-half ago, the Punjab police had also come to Sardarshahr. Based on a tip-off, the police team raided a house in Sawai Delana village of Tehsil. But, they returned empty-handed from there."
According to sources, Bolero used in the Moose Wala murder was linked to the accused Arshad Ali. This Bolero was purchased in the month of February from Fatehpur resident Aditya. The vehicle was taken by Bikaner's hardcore criminal Rohit Godara through his henchman Mahendra Saharan.
Mahendra Saharan further gave this car to Arshad Ali, a resident of Sardarshahr. From Sardarshahr itself, this Bolero reached Punjab via Fatehabad. The shooters of the Bishnoi gang used this vehicle to target Sidhu Moose Wala and shot at him in broad daylight on May 29.
