Singer raises land complaint

“My farmland since the lockdown in 2020 at Illambazar got occupied by some influential people. Despite several complaints to the police, nothing was done and we didn’t get back the land. I have never thought that such a thing would happen to me,” said the Padma Shri baul singer.

Though the singer didn’t mention anyone’s name in specific, his son held ‘Keshto Mondal’ behind this scam.
