BJP’s candidate from northwest Delhi constituency Hans Raj Hans, Union minister and Chandni Chowk candidate Harsh Vardhan and other party leaders were also present.

The famous Punjabi singer was in the news for his alleged involvement in human trafficking. A court had last year suspended a two-year jail term awarded to the singer in the case.

Patiala police had registered a case against him and a few others on a complaint filed by one Bakshish Singh, while some more complaints came up levelling charges of fraud against them.
