Amjad Sabri’s son reveals shocking encounter with robbers in India
Amjad Sabri, the famous qawwali singer known for his beautiful voice and soulful melodies, left a lasting impact on the world of music.
Recently, Majid Amjad Sabri appeared as a guest on the Nadir Ali podcast, where he discussed his late father’s memories.
The host asked, “Alright, tell me, I remember an incident about Late Amjad Sabri Sahib in India where he was kidnapped by dacoits. How did the dacoits become friends with him, and how was he eventually released under protection?”
Majid replied, “During a program organized by Amjad Sabri in the Indian city of Jhansi, where the area was known for dacoits, attendees at the event did not allow his father to leave after the program concluded. They insisted on additional performances, resulting in a delay of three hours. This caused their return journey to become significantly delayed into the night.
“Due to the flight scheduled back to Lahore that night, my father had to depart on the same evening. During their return journey, they stopped at a tea stall where they heard the phrase fill up your bags, which was already playing on the radio, his grandfather’s famous qawwali, ‘Bhar Do Jholi’.”
On June 22, 2016, Ramazan 16, in Karachi, unknown persons opened fire on Amjad Sabri. He was shot in the head and died as a result of the attack.
