This is the second police file against the Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala (File)
Chandigarh:
Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala was sentenced for promoting violence and the cultivation of firearms in his latest song “Sanju”, which was posted on social media a few days ago, police said on Monday.
This is the second police case against the singer.
On May 4, Moosewala was booked under various provisions of the Disaster Management Act and parts of the Arms Act in Barnala after his photographs of shooting an AK-47 rifle on a range during the lockout imposed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 to have occurred. viral on social networks.
Moosewala was reserved for Mohali based on information received that his song “Sanju”, which is in vogue on various social media platforms, openly glorifies the use of weapons and boasts of various early investigation reports (FIR), including the one under the Arms Law, registered against him, said the director general of the Punjab police (ADGP) and the director of the Punjab Bureau of Investigation, Arpit Shukla.
It has been verified that the latest video song, “Sanju”, has been downloaded from Moosewala’s official YouTube channel, he said.
The singer has been listed in the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, including 188 (disobedience of order) and 294 (obscene acts and songs) and 504 (provocation to break the peace), said the ADGP.
In the song, Moosewala makes explicit references to the case against him under the gun law, and the video begins with a news clip of him being reserved in the case by Punjab police for unauthorized use of an AK-47 rifle, said Shukla in an official version published here.
In the video, the singer’s news clip is then merged with reports from Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, the statement said. Dutt had also faced charges under the gun law.
Mr. Shukla said the lyrics to the song, as well as the video, promoted and glorified the possession and use of illegal firearms, and boasted of the registration of FIR as a sign of a “real man” “.
The officer said the words to the song, “gabru de naal Santali (47) jud gayi, ghato ghat saja paanj saal vat de, gabru utte case jehra Sanjay Dutt te, jatt utte case jehra Sanjay Dutt te … (l man has been associated with AK-47, minimum prison terms are five years, and he is dealing with the case which Sanjay Dutt was faced with. “
Shukla said this not only encourages the use of illegal firearms, but also undermines the judiciary, the police and lawyers.
Moosewala had already been convicted of a similar offense on February 1 by Mansa police, he said.
His latest act clearly aims not only to ridicule, mock and undermine the police and the judiciary, but also shows that the singer is incorrigible and has repeatedly committed such offenses, said Shukla.
Police will relocate the High Court of Punjab and Haryana for the cancellation of the advance bail granted under the gun law, he said.
“The police will soon be filing a petition for the cancellation of the advance bail granted to Moosewala,” said Shukla.
The ADGP said that the High Court had already ordered the chief police officers of Punjab, Haryana and Union Territory Chandigarh to ensure that no song glorifying alcohol, drugs and violence is not played even during shows.
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh expressed deep concern over the spread of violence and the culture of firearms in Punjab songs and gave clear instructions to the state police not to show relaxation or concession towards these singers, who encourage young innocent people to follow the path of violence. and hooliganism.
Mr. Shukla said that it seems that with “Sanju”, in which he appears to be wearing some sort of badge of honor, Moosewala deliberately wants to incite and mislead the youth of Punjab, which has suffered most of the terrorism in the 80s and 90s, glorifying the use of AK-47 rifles and other weapons.
