Famous Punjabi singer Daler Mehndi did not get any relief from Punjab and Haryana High Court. He had filed a petition against the sentence of 2 years in the pigeon pelting case. During his hearing, the court asked how long Daler was in jail? On this, Mehndi's lawyer said that it is only a short time. After this, the High Court issued a notice to the Punjab Government and summoned a reply. The next hearing of the case will be on September 15.
At present, Daler is lodged in the Patiala Central Jail for the last 6 days. Daler Mehndi has been kept in the same barrack where former PPCC Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu has been lodged.
Shamsher Mehndi, Daler Mehndi's older brother, was accused of sending people abroad illegally on September 19, 2003, and an FIR was subsequently filed in the case.
