New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on October 23 granted interim anticipatory bail for 10 days to popular
Punjabi folk singer Daler Mehndi, who is wanted in a Patiala court in an alleged illegal human trafficking
case.
Justice S K Aggarwal, while granting the interim bail, said the relief was being given to the folk singer to
enable him to approach the court in Patiala to seek regular bail in the case against him. He was asked to
appear before the Patiala court on October 27 at 11.00 am.
The judge directed him to furnish a personal bail bond of Rs five lakh and a surety in the like amount.
Mehndi was also asked to surrender his passport to the authorities and directed not to leave the country
without prior permission of the court.
The high court also asked the singer to participate in the investigations carried out by the Punjab police.
Punjab police had alleged that as many as 31 complaints of illegal human trafficking have been received
against Mehndi, against whom the Patiala court had issued non bailable warrant in one such case.
