The panel, which issued the order under the relevant sections of the Punjab State Commission for Women Act, 2001, has asked the BoI to submit its report within a week.

PWC chairperson Raj Lali Gill said that the commission asked bureau for an investigation. “The commission will issue a notice to the singer also. I have received phone calls and emails from several women regarding this,” she said.
