The popular but controversial Punjabi singer was shot dead at the age of 26 along with his co-singer Amarjot while they were performing in Mehsampur village in Punjab in 1988.
Chamkila courted several controversies in his time for lyrics that his detractors said promoted infidelity. Chamkila had introduced the paradigm of modern day relationships into Punjabi folk music which had, up until then, restricted itself to singing about legendary heroes, warriors and lovers from Punjabi folk-tales.
Chamkila was warned time and again about his lyrics as most of his songs centered around extra-marital relation.
There are many theories about the murders of Chamkila and Amarjot, who was reportedly pregnant at the time of her death. Bullets were pumped into the duo during a show in Punjab.
Punjab was at the height of militancy and terrorist groups were blamed for their deaths. Inter-caste tensions and professional rivalry were also attributed as causes of the killings. However, even 23 years the death of Amar Singh Chamkila remains an unsolved crime.
