"We are working on the case and are hopeful of making early arrests," Sub-Inspector Sikander Singh of Sangrur's Longowal town said, noting the Facebook post is under the scanner.
Hardev Singh alias Happy, 25, was shot dead in Longowal town on February 16.
Singh said they are trying to nab the accused including alleged mastermind Dalvinder Singh alias Babli Randhawa.
Happy had a verbal duel with Randhawa on January 31 and had been staying in Chandigarh after that, police said.
Randhawa posted four videos on his Facebook page after the crime, police said. According to them, Randhawa is seen listening to a Punjabi song and flashing a gun in the video. The accused is also seen challenging cops to try and nab them, Singh said.
Six police teams have been dispatched to apprehend the accused.
