Gangster-turned-activist blames social media, songs for a life of crime
With two masters degrees in history and Punjabi, and third in Urdu on its way, Lakha is full of reflections on what went wrong for him, blaming social media and Punjabi songs for glorifying gangsterism, and a politician for leading him astray.'

Lakhbir Singh alias Lakha Sidhana calls himself a social activist, but at one time, he had 26 criminal cases registered against him, for murder, kidnapping and other heinous crimes. He still has two cases under the Arms Act against him, and three more in keeping with his newly minted image of a reformed gangster crusading for the Punjabi language – for defacing signboards in support of his mother tongue, and one for his latest act of rebellion, doing a Facebook live from a Faridkot jail that went viral.
