BBC contests civil suit over Moose Wala documentary
The BBC World Service dropped a documentary, The Killing Call, on YouTube on late singer Sidhu Moosewala's 32nd birthday—even though his father, Balkaur Singh, tried to stop it in court.
Singh worries the film could mess with the ongoing investigation into Moosewala's 2022 murder.
Covers the late singer's journey and events leading to death
The Killing Call features interviews with Moosewala's friends, journalists, and police officers. It even includes an audio chat with gangster Goldy Brar, who's accused of ordering the hit.
The film covers Moosewala's journey to fame and the events leading up to his tragic death.
Court has asked BBC to respond to petition
A Mansa court has asked BBC and its team to respond to Singh's petition by June 16.
Meanwhile, Singh has also filed complaints with Maharashtra Police against the BBC for sharing sensitive details about his son's case.
