Chandigarh, Sep 15 (IANS) In a relief to singer Daler Mehndi, the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Thursday granted stay to the decision of a Patiala Court that had sentenced him to two years of imprisonment in a 2003 human trafficking case.
He was lodged in the Central Jail in Patiala.
The artist was imprisoned after being given a two-year prison term on July 14 for illegally transporting people abroad while they were acting as members of his band.
Police had registered a case against the singer, his brother Shamsher Singh -- 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.
Complainant, Bakhshish Singh, alleged that the deal never matured and the accused failed to return the money.
The case was registered in 2003 in Patiala. Daler Mehndi was subsequently arrested but released on bail after a few days.
Daler Mehndi's arrest was quite controversial at a police station in Patiala in 2003 as he was asked to strip by a few junior police officers during interrogation. He spent a few days behind bars before being released on bail.
His younger brother, singer Mika, who accompanied him during the surrender in 2003, had to beat a hasty retreat near the police station when an "organised" mob surrounded their vehicles.
After four collaborations back to back with 'Khyaal Rakhya Kar', 'Khad Tenu Main Dassa', 'Nehu Da Vyah' and 'Ex Calling', Neha is again working with her husband and musician Rohanpreet for the new song. Penned and composed by Garry Sandhu, with music by Rajat Nagpal and directed by Rajan Bir, 'Do Gallan' is a duet by the young couple.
Punjabi pop singer Daler Mehndi has come out with a new track, 'Rola Pe Gaya' for the movie 'Hum Do Humare Do' composed by the musician duo Sachin-Jigar.
Furthermore Alka Yagnik, Kumar Sanu and Udit Narayan can be seen performing Garba in the show. Celebrating the festivities, the singers are also seen enjoying some sweets and revealing their fondest memories. Host Aditya Narayan will be singing with his father. The set will be adorned with a life-size idol of Goddess Durga.
Khan is known for her songs 'Ttliaan Warga', 'Jaani Ve Jaani' and others. But now if the speculation is to be believed she is now returning back to the show. Most probably it is expected that she will join the contestants.
Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh is shooting with filmmaker Ali Abbas Zafar for his new track 'Void', which is part of his new album titled 'Moon Child Era'. An official announcement on the release date of 'Void' is expected soon as the shoot is complete.
In the past, Ekam has composed and sung Punjabi songs like 'Love You', 'Bugga Bugga', '4 Din', 'Ziddi Jatti', 'Pee Pee Ke', 'Reejh Dil Di', 'Sniper', 'Fake Bande', 'Love You Jatta', 'Sardarni, 'Reejh', 'Yaar Maar' and 'Munda Miss Karda'.
