Punjabi singer Jazzy B has withdrawn from a scheduled ceremonial puck drop with the Vancouver Canucks following the death of his nephew, Divit Aulakh, saying his family needs him during the difficult period of mourning.
The singer, known for tracks such as Dil Luteya, shared an emotional message on Instagram, expressing his grief over the loss.

The impact left the car severely damaged, and both occupants died at the spot.
Honey Singh cut short his stay in Dubai and travelled to Jalandhar following the tragedy to be with his family and offer support.
