Karan Aujla Returns to Australia After Visa Delay
Karan Aujla is a Punjabi singer who has returned to Australia.
He was supposed to start his tour with a concert in Perth.
That concert was postponed because his Australian visa was delayed.
Officials asked for more information and reportedly listed him as a person of interest.
His representatives said this happened because he was confused with another person named Jaskaran Singh.
Aujla’s visa has now been approved.
His tour is scheduled to include Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.
He had previously performed successfully in Australia.
