Chandigarh: A Mansa court on Thursday adjourned to June 16, the hearing on the BBC documentary on slain singer Sidhu Moosewal, in the case filed by late singer’s father Balkaur Singh and asked BBC to reply before the next hearing.
It may be recalled that Singh had moved the Mansa district court on June 10 against the screening of the said documentary on his son which was scheduled to be screened on June 11 in Mumbai stating that the same could impact the investigation into his son’s assassination case and violate family’s right to privacy.
Singh had earlier also lodged a complaint with the Maharashtra director general of police (DGP), also alleging that the documentary used Moosewala’s name and the life story without obtaining consent from the family.
However, declining any interim order to stop the screening of the said documentary, the court scheduled the hearing for June 12.
The BBC, on the other hand, instead of screening it, released the two-part documentary “The Killing Call’’ on YouTube on Wednesday.
