Singer Daler Mehndi convicted for human trafficking, jailed for 2 years


Patiala, Mar 16 (IANS): A court in Patiala on Friday convicted Punjabi pop singer Daler Mehndi in a 15-year-old human trafficking case. He was sentenced to two years in jail.

The police had registered a case against Daler and 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.

A 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 was subsequently arrested and released on bail after a few days.

    Sadly ..These are the people whom we imitate and follow as hero's and examples ..the so called successful people are often hypocrites and bend rules for their personal benefits using power, politics , money and their nasty intelligence. ..
    A beggar,prostitute or a petty thief is more honest than these masked and well dressed hypocrites.

    Since the jail term is 2 years, he has applied for bail and is likely to get it. The modus operandi of his operation was that he sent people to USA as singling troupe. But, he sent extra people, other than the troupe on the pretext and dropped them in USA without any job or residence after taking heavy amount of money with the promise of relocating and settling them there. Out of ten such dropped people, 3 were girls. The promise made by him was never honoured by him.
