Punjab

Nitish Kaushal’s addition to the FBI’s wanted list has put fresh focus on a network accused of recruiting Punjab youths, moving cocaine from Southern California and threatening diaspora families through relatives in India and abroad.

Bus and train massacres, assassinated editors, murdered Sikh opponents and targeted police officers reveal a history increasingly reduced to statistics while militants receive political context and sympathetic retellings.

Pannun has sought ‘Qaumi Shaheed’ status for Jaswant Singh Khalra as pro-Khalistani groups use Diljit Dosanjh’s Satluj to revive separatist propaganda in Punjab.

With Satluj, Diljit’s past controversies have returned to focus, from his farmers’ protest stand and refusal to clearly condemn Khalistan to support for Jagtar Singh Johal, named in cases involving Hindu and RSS leaders.

ZEE5 has publicly affirmed its support for the film and stated that it is exploring all appropriate avenues to restore it, underscoring that the episode reflects the procedural complexities of digital content regulation rather than outright censorship.

The CBI court found Kashmir Singh was involved in Baljit’s abduction and illegal confinement, rejected his plea for probation, sentenced him to 5-year RI and imposed a Rs 10,000 fine, with all substantive prison sentences against him ordered to run concurrently.
