Daler Mehndi and brother illegally sent people abroad by showing them as troupe members, as per case
Singer Daler Mehndi's appeal against a two-year jail term in a 2003 case of human trafficking was dismissed by a district court in Patiala today, and he was taken into custody.
In the FIR nineteen years ago, Daler Mehndi and his brother Shamsher Singh were accused of taking money to illegally send people abroad by showing them as members of his troupe. They got two-year jail terms from a judicial magistrate's court in 2018, but came out on bail and filed appeals. The court of Additional District and Sessions Judge HS Grewal today dismissed Daler Mehndi's appeal.
His bail plea and request to be released on probation were dismissed too, so he was taken to the Patiala jail. He has the option to go to the Punjab and Haryana High Court for bail and appeal against the verdict.
