In a 19-year-old human trafficking case, a Patiala court on Thursday sentenced Punjabi singer Daler Mehndi to two years in prison. Today, the singer's petition was rejected by the court, and he was arrested and taken to jail.
Shamsher Mehndi, Daler Mehndi's older brother, was accused of sending people abroad illegally through pigeon-pelting music bands on September 19, 2003, and an FIR was subsequently filed in the case.

Daler Mehndi's name also came up in this case during the investigation. A lawsuit was filed against him in 2003, and 15 years later, in 2018, the lower court sentenced him to two years in prison. The sessions court has now confirmed the lower court's decision.
However, as per the rules, Daler Mehndi has the option to challenge the verdict in the High Court and the Supreme Court.
