Punjabi singer Karan Aujla clarifies the Bishnoi link after viral video

The video, which was shot at a reception in Bakersfield, California, shows Aujla and another singer, Sharry Maan, performing on stage. In the background, Anmol Bishnoi can be seen standing with a group of people.

In response to the controversy, Aujla has issued a statement clarifying his position. “I didn’t think I needed to but after seeing so many posts and messages I just want to clarify about an event on Sunday in Bakersfield, CA,” he said. “As an artist, we are not aware who is attending or invited to the wedding shows we are booked for, hence why I prefer not to do many wedding shows at all.”

Aujla went on to explain that he was not aware of Anmol Bishnoi’s background until he saw the video on social media. “As an artist I focus on my performance and leave the shows, I do not notice each and every person as there are many people around,” he said. “I would never knowingly attend or associate myself with any such thing.”

The Sidhu Moosewala murder case had sent shockwaves through the Punjabi music industry, with many singers and producers fearing for their safety. The case is still ongoing, and police are continuing to investigate all leads in an effort to bring those responsible for the crime to justice.
