New Delhi: Punjabi music icon Gurdas Maan visited the home of the late Sidhu Moosewala to congratulate Moosewala’s parents Balkaur Singh and Charan Kaur on the birth of a baby boy, almost two years after the tragic loss of the singer in Punjab.
Speaking to reporters, Gurdas expressed the significance of the day and conveyed the family's delight. “Today is a significant day filled with joy. The family is overjoyed. Sidhu Moosewala's parents have found solace in this child to carry on. I pray to God that the parents and the child always remain healthy. Sidhu's fans are also very happy today,” he was quoted as saying by ANI.
Earlier on Sunday, Balkaur Singh announced the birth of a son.
"Thanks to the good wishes of the lakhs and crores of Subhdeep's followers and fans, Akal Purakh has sent Shubh's little brother to our laps," Sardar Balkaur Sidhu wrote on Instagram in Punjabi.
"My wife's health is fine, thanks to the blessings of the Almighty, and we both are beholden to our well-wishers for showering us with their support."
It was reported in February that Charan Kaur was pregnant and underwent In vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment, successfully conceiving a baby expected in March. Sidhu Moosewala's uncle, Chamkaur Singh, had verified Charan's pregnancy.
Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead on May 29, 2022 in Punjab's Mansa district. The incident took place just a day after the withdrawal of his security cover, as part of the government's efforts to curtail VIP culture in the state.
On May 29, Moosewala left his house with his cousin Gurpreet Singh and neighbour Gurwinder Singh at around 4:30 pm, according to police. He was driving his SUV to his aunt's house in Barnala. At Jawaharke, two cars blocked his SUV. Around 30 rounds were fired during the incident.
Moosewala's murder case involves 31 accused, including gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar, with 25 already taken into custody.
