The Patiala police on Tuesday arrested singer and lyricist Shree Brar alias Pawandeep Singh Mohali for allegedly glorifying lawlessness in his songs.
Patiala Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Vikram Jeet Duggal said that he had released a song ‘JAAN’ on online platform YouTube with provocative lyrics promoting violence and antisocial acts to the extent of even providing shelter to the criminals and gangsters, and encouraging them to break jails.
“The lyrics of the song very much encourage the youth to commit crimes and anti-social acts,” the SSP said.
The SSP said that an FIR was registered against the singer under sections 500 (defamation), 501 (printing or engraving matter known to be defamatory), 502 (sale of printed or engraved substance containing defamatory matter), 505, 115, 116 and 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC at Civil Lines police station.
