Sidhu Moosewala’s parents welcomed a baby boy on Sunday, almost 22 months after the Punjabi singer was killed in Mansa district in broad daylight.
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. 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 alleged that the Punjab government was questioning the family over the “legality” of the child.
“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 furnish 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 till the treatment of my wife gets 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.
Opposition leaders in the state criticised the Punjab government over the allegations by Sidhu Moosewala’s father. Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring urged the state government to stop harassing the family.
