Five days after the parents of slain singer Shubhdeep Singh aka Sidhu Moosewala staged a protest outside the SSP office located inside the District Administrative Complex here, Mansa Sadar police have registered a case of cheating against two persons and a digital entertainment company.<\/p>\n
The protest, held on Wednesday, involved the parents sitting on the floor for nearly five hours, demanding registration of an FIR over a complaint lodged about six months ago over an alleged financial fraud involving two companies owned by their late son.<\/p>\n
The case has been registered against Gurpreet Singh, Shabbir Momin and One Digital Network Private Limited under sections 316 (2), 336(2), 336(3), 338, 340(2), 344, 66, 318(4) and 61(2) of the BNS on the complaint filed by Moosewala’s mother Charan Kaur, a resident of Moosa village.<\/p>\n
Mansa SSP Bhagirath Singh Meena confirmed that the case had been registered. \u201cThe matter was under investigation, and an FIR has been registered against two individuals and a private company,\u201d said the SSP while talking to The Tribune.<\/p>\n
Though Moosewala\u2019s parents, Balkaur Singh and Charan Kaur, did not mention the amount during their protest on Wednesday, sources said the complaint pertains to nearly USD 37 lakh.<\/p>\n
They remained seated on floor on Wednesday for nearly five hours, except for two rounds of talks with DIG Bathinda Range Harjeet Singh and the SSP inside the office.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media, Balkaur Singh had said, \u201cWe filed a formal complaint with DGP Gaurav Yadav against my son\u2019s former manager and two others for financial fraud related to our two companies. The complaint was marked to the SSP and an SP conducted a probe.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe file is now lying with the SSP, but no case has been registered. If the authorities want to shield one person, they should at least book the remaining two. We have provided all relevant documents to the police. They can even book us if we have lodged a false complaint.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sources said the complaint pertains to total earnings from various digital platforms since Moosewala\u2019s death, amounting to approximately USD 1.15 crore.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf this, nearly USD 70 lakh has reportedly been paid to Moosewala\u2019s parents in instalments since May 2022, while over USD 37 lakh remains pending, as per their complaint,\u201d sources added.<\/p>\n
Moosewala was shot dead on May 29, 2022, at Jawaharke village here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Five days after the parents of slain singer Shubhdeep Singh aka Sidhu Moosewala staged a protest outside the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":483876,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[245121,245122,103223,245123,245124,245125,245126,245127,64,63,447,134,245128,245129],"class_list":{"0":"post-483875","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-balkaursingh","9":"tag-charankaur","10":"tag-cheatingcase","11":"tag-digitalentertainment","12":"tag-justiceforsidhumoosewala","13":"tag-mansapolice","14":"tag-moosewaladeath","15":"tag-usd37lakhfraud","16":"tag-au","17":"tag-australia","18":"tag-celebrities","19":"tag-entertainment","20":"tag-financialfraud","21":"tag-sidhumoosewala"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
