Multiple reports discuss “Satluj,” a film that dramatizes the 1995 extra-judicial killing of Jaswant Singh Khalra by the Punjab Police. According to the journalist referenced in the coverage, the government bans the film shortly after its release, citing concerns related to its content. One report says the ban comes two days after the film is released, while another frames the broader impact as increasing public curiosity about the story behind the film.
The articles focus on the role of the journalist who broke the Khalra murder story and later sees the narrative adapted for cinema. They describe how the ban follows soon after the film appears, and how public attention grows in response. Across the accounts, there is agreement on the central facts: the film’s subject is the 1995 Khalra case, the plot depicts the alleged extra-judicial killing by Punjab Police, and the government issues a ban two days after release. The coverage does not cite new investigative findings, instead centering on the film’s release, the ban timing, and the resulting interest in the Khalra story.
