The Delhi high court on Thursday granted interim anticipatory bail for 10 days to bhangra-pop star Daler Mehndi, who is wanted in a Patiala court in an illegal human trafficking case.

Justice S K Aggarwal, while granting the interim bail, said the relief was being given to the singer to enable him to approach the court in Patiala to seek a regular bail.

He has been asked to appear before the Patiala court on October 27 at 1100 hours.
 
The judge asked him to furnish a personal bail bond of Rs 500,000 and a surety of the like amount.

The singer has also been asked to surrender his passport.

Punjab police have said that as many as 31 complaints of illegal human trafficking have been received against
Mehndi.
