Singer Mankirt Aulakh Receives Death Threat, Gangster Link Suspected

Chandigarh — Punjabi singer Mankirt Aulakh has reportedly received a fresh death threat, allegedly from gangster Lucky Patial, with an audio clip claiming responsibility circulating widely on social media.

The development comes shortly after the broad daylight killing of a property dealer in a prominent Chandigarh market, an incident that has heightened security concerns in the region. In the purported recording, a voice believed to be associated with Patial references the recent shooting and issues a warning, naming the singer as a possible next target.

Authorities have not yet confirmed the authenticity of the audio clip, and investigations are likely to focus on verifying its source and intent. The alleged message also suggests that heightened security measures may not be enough to prevent an attack, further intensifying concerns.

This is not the first instance of such threats directed at the singer. In the past, he had received similar warnings through messaging platforms, prompting police complaints and inquiries. His name had also surfaced in connection with threats issued during earlier high-profile criminal cases linked to gang rivalries.

The latest incident underscores the continuing nexus between organized crime and public figures, with law enforcement agencies expected to step up vigilance in response to the emerging threat.
