The killing of Parvinder Singh Jhota on Tuesday has brought fresh pain to the family of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala. Moosewala's father, Balkaur Singh, spoke out about the loss, linking it directly to the death of his own son.
Moosewala — whose real name was Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu — was shot dead at Jawaharke village in Mansa district on May 29, 2022. He was popularly known as 'Jhota' (bull) because of his muscular build. Now, with Parvinder Singh Jhota's killing, Balkaur Singh says the same region has been hit by tragedy once again.
Balkaur Singh's Emotional Message on Parvinder Jhota's Killing
Balkaur Singh, who is currently abroad, expressed his sorrow over the killing. He drew a direct parallel between the two deaths, both connected to the name 'Jhota'.
"One 'Jhota' was taken away in 2022, and another has been taken away today in 2026. Mansa has suffered another huge loss." — Balkaur Singh
His words carry the weight of a father who has already lost one son to violence. Now he sees another young life taken in the same region.
Who Was Parvinder Singh Jhota?
Balkaur Singh remembered Parvinder as a gentle person. He said Parvinder was like his own son and younger brother. He also said Parvinder was fighting against drugs — a battle that many families in Punjab know all too well.
Balkaur called the killing deeply painful. He questioned whether young people will continue to die like this. His grief is not just personal — it speaks to a wider fear that has gripped Mansa and the surrounding areas.

- Parvinder was fighting against drugs, according to Balkaur
- Balkaur said the killing was deeply painful and questioned if young people will keep dying like this
Why This Killing Matters Beyond One Family
The comparison between Moosewala and Parvinder is not just about a nickname. It is about a pattern. Moosewala was killed in 2022. Now, another man known as 'Jhota' has been killed. Both deaths have left the same community asking hard questions.
Balkaur Singh's statement makes it clear that he sees this as part of a larger problem. He did not just mourn Parvinder — he connected the killing to the ongoing violence that has already taken his son.
Our Take: A Community Waiting for Answers
In our view, Balkaur Singh's words are a warning. When a father who lost his son to violence says "Mansa has suffered another huge loss," it is not just grief — it is a demand for change. Parvinder Singh Jhota was fighting against drugs. That alone should make people pay attention. If someone working against drugs is killed, what message does that send to others who want to do the same?
To put it plainly, this is not just another crime story. It is a story about a region that keeps losing its young people. Balkaur Singh has now mourned two 'Jhotas' — one in 2022, one in 2026. The question he asked — "Will young people continue to die like this?" — has no easy answer. But it is the question that matters most right now.
Readers should understand that the killing of Parvinder Singh Jhota is not an isolated event. It is part of a cycle that has already taken Sidhu Moosewala. Until that cycle breaks, more families will keep asking the same painful question.
