Union Home Minister Amit Shah caught up with parents of slain singer Sidhu Moose Wala in Chandigarh on Saturday, reports ndtv.com.

The meeting took place a day after Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann visited Moosewala's kin assuring that his killers would be brought to book soon.

Moosewala's family had earlier written to Shah appealing for a probe by central agencies into the murder the Punjabi singer, according to Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat.

Ahead of the chief minister's visit, a few people held a protest against the Punjab Police for allegedly stopping them from entering the Moosa village by deploying heavy security.

However, the police stated that no one was being stopped from entering the village.

The ruling Aam Aadmi Party MLA from Sardulgarh seat Gurpreet Singh Banawali, who reached Moosewala's house ahead of Mann's visit, had also faced protest.

The protesters had also raised slogans against the state government.

"Our cars are being stopped from entering the village. Our relatives' vehicles are not being allowed to enter," a protester claimed.

The AAP accused the Congress of playing "dirty politics" over the murder of Moosewala.
