The arrest comes close on the heels of similar charges against Daler Mehndi and his brother Shamsher Singh.

The case against 'Sukha Delhi has been registered on the complaint of a resident of Noorkhedi village near Patiala.

The singer, said the police, was arrested while allegedly receiving the final installment of Rs 800,000 from the complainant Balbir Singh, a senior police officer told PTI on phone from Chandigarh.

According to police, Mann had promised to take the complainant abroad after finalising a marriage alliance for him with a girl in the US.
