Indian singer Daler Mehndi imprisoned for human trafficking

The super famous Indian singer from 90s, Daler Mehndi, has landed himself in jail, as the singer has been convicted for the heinous crime of human trafficking and has been sent to jail for two years by a local Punjab court in India on Friday.

A case was filed against the Bollywood singer back in 2003, in which Daler and his brother Shamsher Singh were accused of human trafficking between their two troupes of 1998 and 1999 to the US. It is reported that during these trips, 10 people were taken as group members to America and were 'dropped off' illegally.

In 1998, Daler had allegedly dropped off three girls at San Francisco. Then in October 1999, both the brothers took another troupe to the US during which three boys were dropped off at New Jersey, PTI reported.

As a conclusion of this case, Daler has been convicted on the charges of human trafficking and has been given two years jail time by a local court in Punjab. More than 35 complaints were also filed against the doomed star and his brother for fraud.

The complaints further accused the brothers of taking “passage money” from them to help them migrate to America illegally but had failed to do so.

The Patiala Police even raided the offices of Daler and also seized documents implicating the brothers with the petitioners who had paid the alleged passage money to Mehndi brothers.
