Gurdas Maan, a Punjabi singer, was denied anticipatory bail after making offensive statements during a fair in Nakodar's Dera Baba Murad Shah. Ladi Shah, the dera's ruler, was identified by Mann as a descendent of Shri Guru Amardas ji. Following this, Sikh organisations filed a complaint against him, accusing him of injuring religious sentiments. Mann has filed an anticipatory bail plea before District and Sessions Court in this case.
During the hearing, Sikh groups' advocates Parminder Singh Dhingra and Ravinder Singh said that Mann's remarks had hurt people's feelings. There is a lot of resentment among the Sikh Sangat in the country and abroad as a result of this. Mann remaining outside may aggravate people's dissatisfaction and spoil Punjab's environment. As a result, his plea for anticipatory bail should be denied.
