Diljit Dosanjh, Khali Support Campaign to Free Punjab Truck Driver on Saudi Death Row

Delhi-based singer Diljit Dosanjh and former WWE star The Great Khali have publicly backed a campaign aimed at securing the release of a Punjabi truck driver who is currently on death row in Saudi Arabia. The driver, a resident of Punjab, was sentenced to capital punishment by Saudi courts following a criminal case that has drawn attention in India.

The campaign, organized by Indian diaspora groups and human‑rights activists, seeks diplomatic intervention from the Indian government and consular assistance for the inmate. Both celebrities have used their social‑media platforms to highlight the case, urging officials to ensure the driver receives a fair review and appropriate legal support.

Indian authorities have previously intervened in similar overseas legal matters, and the involvement of high‑profile personalities is expected to increase pressure on both governments. The campaign continues to gather signatures and media coverage as families and supporters await a response from the Ministry of External Affairs.
