Chandigarh, Mar 20: In a shocking development, Balkaur Singh, the father of late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, has accused the Bhagwant Mann-led Punjab government of harassment after the birth of their second son. He has claimed that the Punjab government was questioning the family over the “legality" of the child.
Notably, Balkaur Singh and his wife Charan Kaur welcomed a baby boy on Sunday, almost 22 months after Sidhu Moosewala was killed in Punjabs' Mansa district.
In a video message posted on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram on Tuesday, Balkaur Singh said, "Due to the blessings of Waheguru, we got our Shubhdeep (Sidhu Moosewala) back,” Balkaur Singh said in the video message. "However, the government has been harassing me since morning, asking me to show documents of the baby. They are questioning me to prove that this child is legal."
"I want to request the government, particularly chief minister Bhagwant Mann, to allow for the treatment of my wife to be over. I belong here and will come to any place you call me (for questioning)…I will provide all the legal documents," Balkaur Singh added.

Sidhu Moosewala's killing
Sidhu Moosewala, who was the then-only son of the couple, was shot dead by six assailants at Jawahar Ke village in Punjab’s Mansa on May 29, 2022. He was 28. It was in the same year that he contested the Punjab Assembly elections on a Congress ticket from Mansa but lost.
The SIT probing Moosewala’s murder has filed four chargesheets, including three supplementary chargesheets, against 34 accused, including gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi, Goldy Brar and Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, claiming the murder was part of a series of revenge killings between the Bishnoi and Bambiha gangs.
