Punjabi Pop Singer Daler Mehndi has been sentenced to two years imprisonment in a 19-year-old human trafficking case.
India’s Patiala House Court dismissed the plea of the pop singer after which he was arrested and sent to jail. In the proceedings, the court pronounced Mehndi guilty.
The court has upheld the previous verdict of a trial court sentencing him to two years of imprisonment. The judicial magistrate of the trial court had ordered a two-year jail term to the pop singer and his brother in 2018 but both were granted bail.
The case was registered on October 19, 2003 when Bakshish Singh from Balvera village, Patiala, had filed a complaint of human trafficking; however 35 more complaints later came up against Daler Mehndi.
In the complaints, is was alleged that the pop singer and his brother had cheated and duped him on the pretext of sending abroad.
In 1998, during the tour to US with Karishma Kapoor and her mother Babita, Daler was accused of leaving three girls (Priya, Meenu and Nimu) in San Francisco.
In 1999, during another visit to US, he was accused of dropping three boys in New Jersey. He was accompanied on the tour by Juhi Chawla, Raveena tandon and Javed Jaffri.
