Music producer Pinky Dhaliwal arrested for cheating and exploiting Punjabi singer Sunanda Sharma

Punjabi singer Sunanda Sharma has recently filed an FIR against Pinky Dhaliwal

Music producer and the owner of Mad4Music label, Pinky Dhaliwal, has recently landed in legal trouble over the claims of alleged cheating and exploiting Punjab singer Sunanda Sharma. He was arrested outside his house in Sector 71 by Punjab Police at Mataur Police Station on Saturday.

Sunanda has recently filed a FIR against the music producer. However, Dhaliwal’s arrest came after Raj Lali Gill, Chairperson of the Punjab State Commission for Women, took suo motu action following Sunanda’s serious allegations.

According to Hindustan Times, Sunanda alleged in her FIR that Dhaliwal exploited her financially for years, pressuring her to perform at various events and concerts without providing fair compensation.

She added in her complaint, “Despite my earnings exceeding Rs 250 crore during this period, the accused unlawfully took possession of all my income and usurped my rightful dues. Not a single payment was made to me directly. This blatant financial exploitation has severely impacted my financial stability and well-being.”

Sunanda also accused Dhaliwal’s son Gurkaran Dhaliwal of exploiting her by making fake promises of marriage. The police are investigating Gurkaran's role in this alleged exploitation.

The singer further claimed that Dhaliwal and his son forged her signature on contracts and other documents, taking control of her music rights, performance rights, and other creative assets without her full understanding. Additionally, Sunanda alleged that Dhaliwal threatened her career and reputation when she asked about unpaid earnings and even took her passport illegally.

Dhaliwal, currently in police custody, has previously dismissed the allegations, stating that the Punjabi music industry is well aware of the significant support he provided to Sunanda Sharma throughout her career.

Soon after the arrest, Sunanda again took to her Instagram and issued another statement. She expressed gratitude towards CM, Bhagwant Mann, for listening to her concerns, giving attention to my issues, and understanding her perspective like a sister.

She added, “I want to say one more thing - you're not just listening to me, you're also paying attention to the voices of all those women who couldn't speak up for their rights.”
