A Punjabi singer KS Makhan performed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally in Punjab’s Kotkapura on Sunday, a day before he has been asked to join investigation in the Bhola drug racket case. Makhan, who was earlier booked in a drug smuggling case in 2006, caught the enforcement directorate’s eye ahead of the release of a Punjabi movie starring druglord Jagdish Bhola, who is in jail. Makhan, who is involved in the movie, and producer Jagseer Sidhu were last week asked to join the probe on Monday to reportedly find their links with Bhola. The movie ‘Jugni Hath Kise Na Auni’, is based on drug smuggling inside jails, and was started five years ago when Bhola was still out of jail. Makhan, who joined the Shiromani Akali Dal in November last, had been the Bahujan Samaj Party candidate from Anandpur Sahib in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections.
