Popular Punjabi singer Daler Mehndi was sent to the Patiala jail on Thursday, July 15, 2022 after a court here upheld the two-year jail term to him in a 2003 human trafficking case.
Mehndi was taken into custody by police as the court also dismissed his application for release on probation, said Gurpreet Singh Bhasin, the counsel for the complainants in the case.
The singer had filed an appeal against his conviction in March 2018 by a lower court, which had sentenced Mehndi to two years in jail and also imposed a fine of ₹1,000 on him. Mehndi was then released on a bail bond.
