New Delhi: Following the birth of their second son last week by the late singer Sidhu Moose Wala's parents, the government has raised awareness about the age limit for IVF conception. Balkaur Singh, the father of the singer, says he has been harassed by the district authorities to provide information about the child.

The couple was blessed with a child last Saturday, nearly two years after their singer-son was shot dead. Charan Kaur, 58, had conceived the child through the In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) technique, a relative had said earlier this year.
In an Instagram video on Tuesday, Balkaur Singh requested the administration to let the treatment be over.
"The district is harassing me that I furnish documents about the child. I request the government and the Chief Minister, to let the treatment get over. I will show up whenever I am asked to appear. I assure you that I will show all legal documents," Mr Singh said.
The mother of Sidhu Moose Wala, Charan Kaur, underwent IVF therapy; the Union health ministry requested a report from the Punjab government last week. It was noted that the age range for IVF is 21 to 50 years old.
"Under Section 21(g)(i) of the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, the age limit prescribed for a woman going under ART Services is between 21-50 years,” the letter read.
Balkaur Singh had also posted a picture of him on Instagram last week, announcing the arrival of his second kid and stating that everyone in the family was doing well. On May 29, 2022, Sidhu Moose Wala, his older son and singer-turned-politician, was shot and killed in the Mansa district of Punjab.
