In March 2025, national media reported allegations by Punjabi singer Sunanda Sharma against Dhaliwal, including claims of financial exploitation and non-payment allegations; following the complaint, Dhaliwal was briefly detained by police.[14][15][1] Following the initial complaint, media reports stated that additional Punjabi singers, including Shree Brar and Kaka, also filed police complaints against Dhaliwal, with the matters reported as being under inquiry at the time.[16][17] Shortly thereafter, the Punjab and Haryana High Court ordered Dhaliwal's release and described aspects of the arrest as not in accordance with procedure; the court granted relief on terms reported in regional media.[18][19]

In June 2025, media outlets reported an incident in which gunshots were fired outside Dhaliwal's residence in Mohali; police stated that one of the alleged shooters was arrested and that extortion was being investigated as a possible motive.[20][21]
