Diljit Dosanjh’s film Satluj was removed from a streaming platform less than 48 hours after it finally reached audiences following a years-long battle with India’s censors.
Directed by Honey Trehan and starring Dosanjh, the film was based on the life of Sikh human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, who documented over 25,000 alleged extrajudicial killings in Punjab in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when the northern Indian state was gripped by a deadly insurgency, before he was abducted and murdered in 1995.
