A resident of Patiala has been arrested for allegedly issuing death threats to a Punjabi singer’s husband living here.

The police said the suspect, identified as Harpreet Singh who claimed to be a member of the Bambiha group, threatened Sajan Sharma, aka Saj, the husband of singer Afsana Khan, with shooting him on the next date of hearing in a court case related to his (Saj’s) first marriage. Reportedly, this is the singer’s second marriage and a court case is going on in a dispute between her husband and his previous wife.

The police said Harpreet Singh, a resident of Urban Estate, Patiala, was evading arrest in two cases already registered against him.
