Sidhu Moosewala’s new song features Pakistani ‘drug lord’ Faisal Jutt
With slain Indian Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala’s new song hitting the shelves, netizens have taken to social media to point out that an audio recording used in the song was originally from across the border.
‘LOCK’, which was recorded by Moosewala before his assassination in 2022, was released on January 23 on his YouTube channel.
As the song went viral, getting over nine million hits within 24 hours of its release, fans were quick to highlight that an audio recording used in the track was of Faisal Jutt, a resident of Pakistan’s Gujrat, who was killed in a police encounter in 2023.
Jutt, also known as Fasial Hanj, was allegedly a drug kingpin who expanded his trafficking network with the help of political connections. He was also accused of killing a cop and injuring another during a shootout with law enforcement.
Jutt was shot dead by police in what was dubbed “the biggest” encounter in the country’s history. According to reports, the killing took place as law enforcement attempted to raid Jutt’s residence in his native village of Hanj.
In a viral undated video released before his extrajudicial killing, Jutt was allegedly heard as shouting the following from the rooftop of his residence: “If I run away, don’t call me Jutt.”
The same recording has now been used in Moosewala’s song. You can check it out below:
Meanwhile, fans are speculating how and why the audio was used in a song released after the killings of both Jutt and Moosewala.
