New Delhi: Murder Charges on Punjabi Singer Ranjit Bath for Killing Father of NRI Woman A stunning turn of events recently came into focus when the famous Punjabi singer Ranjit Singh Kahlon, going by the stage name of Ranjit Bath, and his nephew were accused in the murder of an NRI woman’s father in a chilling case after being deported from Australia. It was a dreadful crime that happened in the Dakha area where the accused allegedly threw the body of the elderly victim in bushes on the side of the road. The case drew much interest from all over since the details were quite shocking and a public figure committed such a heinous crime.
Accused Ranjit Bath reportedly had been harassing the NRI woman for the past several months and was tormenting her life. The Australia-based woman had lodged several complaints against Bath, who was deported from that country twice. Despite this, he continued sending letters and messages threatening her victim, forcing the latter to divorce her husband and marry him. His harassment ended with the gory murder of her 78-year-old father.
It all started a few days ago when the woman’s father disappeared, following which the son filed a missing person complaint. Days later, their worst nightmare came true when they received news about a body being kept in the mortuary of the Civil Hospital. The complainant recognized the deceased as his missing father and informed the police.
The horror of the crime was also compounded by a chilling WhatsApp message that Bath sent to the NRI woman. According to reports, Bath sent a message stating that he had killed her father and dumped the body in the bushes. This message not only sickens her with a confession but shows just how extreme the fixation of Bath was to the extent of making him ready to terrorize the woman with such unthinkable acts.
According to her testimony, Bath’s harassment of her in the past several months was on the rise. She described how Bath pursued her relentlessly, urging her to divorce her husband and marry him. His repeated deportations from Australia happened because she complained about his anger and obsession. Indeed, despite court orders filed against him, Bath’s resolve to remain in contact with the woman never dimmed.
The actions accused of show a pattern of stalking and intimidation and give a picture of a man who refused to respect boundaries and went to extreme measures to manipulate his way into the woman’s life. It is clear that the murder of her father is but the final tragic escalation of Bath’s relentless pursuit.
Ranjit Bath has been a popular name in Punjabi music, and leading him before the police with charges so serious that may lead to severe legal consequences, is a dire matter. It throws a dark shadow on his career as a question of responsibility by the public figures about setting an example to their fans and the community at large.
