In a major development, infighting among Jaggu Bhagwanpuria's and Lawrence Bishnoi's gangs left two gangsters named in the Sidhu Moosewala murder case dead in Goindwal Jail in Tarn Taran. The two gangsters who were killed in the jail were identified as Mandeep Singh alias Tufan of Batala and Manmohan Singh alias Mohna of Budhlana. There was a third inmate Keshav, along with them who is said to be in critical condition after the violent conflict at the Goindwal Jail .
All three of them were arrested for alleged involvement in the murder of popular Punjabi Singer Sidhu Moosewala on May 29, 2022. As per the reports, they were attacked with sharp weapons on their heads .
Tarn Taran's Emergency Medical Officer Dr. Jagjit Singh said that of the three injured brought from the jail in the afternoon, two had died before being brought to the hospital, while the condition of the third remained critical. Keshav was referred to Guru Nanak Dev Hospital in Amritsar by doctors at the Civil Hospital .
Slain gangster Mandeep Singh was present as a standby shooter during the murder singer Sidhu Moosewala. He was a member of the Jaggu Bhagwanpuria gang. He and Manmohan after the murder of Moosewala had absconded along with Sandeep of Ludhiana, until they were eventually arrested .Keshav who is in serious condition, had helped 3 shooters of Haryana module, Priyavart Fauji, Ankit Sersa and Kashish, to escape.

According to the initial reports , gangster Mandeep Singh Toofan had an argument with the prisoners in the jail over some issues. After this a fight started among them and the prisoners beat him to death. Three to four other prisoners were also reported to be injured in the clash.
This clash becomes another instance of violence in recent days in Punjab. As the socio-political situation in Punjab is seeming to escalate, this recent incident raises question on why there was nothing done to stop the deaths of these inmates in the prison .
