Daler Mehndi Gets Two-year Jail Term in 2003 Human Trafficking Case
News 18A court in Punjab’s Patiala on Thursday dismissed Daler Mehndi’s appeal against the imprisonment and awarded a two-year jail term to the popular Punjabi singer in connection with a 19-year-old human trafficking case. Police had registered a case against Mehndi, his brother — who died in October 2017 — and two others, after it was alleged that the accused took money from people to the tune of Rs 1 crore on the pretext of taking them abroad. Police had earlier moved two petitions before the court saying that Mehndi was not required in the case as he had nothing to do with the immigration fraud, called ‘kabootarbaazi’ — literally flying of pigeons but referring to numerous youth in Punjab trying to use illegal means to settle abroad. But after police started the proceedings that Mehndi had nothing to do with the immigration fraud case, the complainant moved court again objecting to the singer being discharged.
