Chandigarh/Mumbai, June 7 — Balkaur Singh, father of the late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, has appealed to Mumbai police to halt the planned screening of a documentary about his son’s life and death. The screening is scheduled for June 11 at Soho House in Juhu.
In a formal complaint addressed to the Maharashtra Director General of Police (DGP) and the Juhu police station’s SHO, Balkaur Singh raised serious concerns about the documentary titled Investigative Documentary on Sidhu Moosewala. He alleged that the film, reportedly produced by two local producers and a foreign public broadcaster, contains unauthorised, sensitive, and unpublished material, including personal testimonies related to the ongoing criminal case into Moosewala’s murder.
Singh warned that the screening could “incite public unrest, interfere with the investigation, and violate the family’s legal rights, including privacy and posthumous dignity.” He also stated that he is pursuing civil and legal remedies against the documentary’s release.
Notably, the documentary’s release date coincides with Sidhu Moosewala’s birth anniversary, June 11, 1993, adding to the family’s concerns.
