The BBC has released a new documentary on late Punjabi singer and rapper Sidhu Moosewala titled "The Killing Call," now streaming on YouTube. The release has sparked controversy as it comes despite an active plea from Moosewala’s father, Balkaur Singh, seeking to stop the film's release through the Punjab and Haryana High Court.
The investigative documentary explores the events leading up to Moosewala’s tragic death in May 2022, delving into gang rivalry, security lapses, and the growing culture of violence in Punjab. It features audio clips of gangster Goldy Brar, who claimed responsibility for the murder, and includes interviews with Moosewala’s friends, police officials, and journalists who covered the case.
Moosewala’s family has expressed disappointment and frustration over the release, stating that they were not consulted and accusing the makers of commercializing their son’s death. Despite the family’s legal efforts, the BBC went ahead with the release, which has already drawn significant public attention online.
Balkaur Singh had appealed to the court to ban the documentary, arguing that it could interfere with ongoing investigations and hurt the family’s sentiments. The court, however, has not issued an immediate stay, allowing the film to be published globally. The documentary attempts to unpack the wider implications of Moosewala’s killing, drawing attention to the nexus between music, youth, and gang violence in Punjab and Canada.
The BBC's YouTube comments are filled with people disapproving of the BBC's action of going against the late Moosewala’s father, as he is not in favor of the documentary being released.
