The singer has been booked under relevant Indian Penal Code sections, including 188 (disobedience to order) and 294 (obscene acts and songs) and 504 (provocation to break public peace), the ADGP said. It has been verified that the latest video-song, 'Sanju', was uploaded from Moosewala's official YouTube channel, he said.
Moosewala has been booked at Mohali on the basis of information received that his song 'Sanju', which is trending on various social media platforms, blatantly glorifies use of weapons and boasts about the various first investigation reports (FIRs), including the one under the Arms Act, registered against him, Punjab Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) and Director Punjab Bureau of Investigations Arpit Shukla said. On May 4, Moosewala was booked under various provisions of the Disaster Management Act and sections of the Arms Act in Barnala after his photographs of firing an AK-47 rifle at a firing range during the lockdown imposed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 went viral on social media. This is the second police case against the singer. Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala has been booked on charges of promoting violence and gun culture in his latest song 'Sanju', which was released on social media a couple of days ago, police said on Monday.
