Took responsibility for the murder of Moosewala in the first interview
Lawrence’s first interview was broadcast on March 14. In which Lawrence had confessed to getting Sidhu Moosewala murdered. Lawrence said that Moosewala was getting into gang war instead of singing. Moosewala also had a hand in the murder of his college friend, Akali leader Vicky Middukheda. That’s why he got him killed. According to the SIT report, this is the same interview which he gave from CIA custody.
In his second interview, Lawrence had also given evidence of conducting the interview from inside the jail. He also showed his barrack and told that he is not allowed to go out, but his mobile phone also comes with him and it also has signal. Lawrence said in his interview that the jail guards rarely come and go at night, that is why he is calling at night.
Lawrence had also given information about the mobile coming inside. According to Lawrence, mobile phones are thrown inside the jail from outside. Sometimes the jail staff even catches them, but most of the times the mobile phone reaches them.
