Patiala: Police noose around noted Punjabi singer Daler Mehndi, who is evading police since last
Wednesday (Oct 28), tightened today (Nov 4) after a local court dismissed his anticipatory bail plea in
the illegal human trafficking case.
Additional chief judicial magistrate P S Dhanoa rejected the singer's application for bail after hearing
arguments on his behalf and the Punjab police.
Meanwhile, Patiala police said it had not made any breakthrough in its efforts to arrest the singer, who
was not traceable at his known addresses after having appeared before the local police for two days last
week.
Senior superintendent of police (SSP) Paramraj Singh Umranangal said raiding parties were yet to get
any clue about the singer's whereabouts, but as per the statement of Mehndi's counsel in the local court
today, he (Daler) was admitted in a hospital at Noida, adjoining Delhi.
The police was trying to find out the hospital, he said, adding that search for the singer would continue
by police parties, which had been sent to Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh.
