A case was registered against Punjabi singers Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, aka Sidhu Moose Wala, and Mankirat Aulakh for allegedly promoting violence and gun culture in a song uploaded on social media.

Sections 294 (sings, recites or utters any obscene song), 504 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace) and 149 (unlawful assembly) of the IPC was registered against the duo.

Senior Superintendent of Police (Mansa) Narender Bhargav said that preliminary inquiries have revealed that the song was recorded at Mussa village in Mansa district at the residence of Moose Wala.

A video clip of the song was uploaded on social media sites and it was found to be promoting violence and gun culture, he added.

SSP Bhargav said Moose Wala’s song “Pakhia pakhia pakhia, gun wich panj golia…” evidentially promotes violence and gun culture.

Notably, the Punjab and Haryana High Court had already directed the Director General of Police of Punjab, Haryana and Union Territory Chandigarh to ensure that no songs glorifying liquor, drugs and violence are played even in the live shows.
