Late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala's father Balkaur Singh has accused that he has been harassed over the birth of his second son. On March 17, Singh and his wife Charan Kaur welcomed a baby boy nearly two years after Moosewala was shot dead in Punjab's Mansa district. 


The couple opted for the In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) technique. 


Posting a video clip on his social media, Singh said that the administration has been asking him to furnish documents of the baby and prove that the child is legal. 


"Two days ago, by the blessings of 'Waheguru' and your prayers, we got our Shubhdeep (Sidhu Moose Wala) back," he said. 






"However, the administration has been harassing me since morning, asking me to furnish documents of the baby. They are posing me several questions, asking me to prove that this child is legal," he added. 


Singh requested the government "particularly CM 'saab' (Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann)" to let the treatment be completed first. 


"I hail from this place and will come wherever you call me," he said. 


Asserting that he did not violate any law, Singh said, "As I am pained, I want to tell you in strong words that you have a habit of taking U-turns. Your advisors give you such advice... I am not among those who take U-turns."

"If I have done so (violate the law) then send me behind bars... lodge an FIR against me, put me in jail, and then carry out an investigation. I will provide all the legal documents," he added. 














Speaking about the allegations made by Siddh Moosewala's father, Congress leader Pratap Bajwa said it is very shameful how the Punjab government has started probing into the details of a newborn child.


Bajwa stated that even from the letter of the Indian government, it is evident how these people are against the Moosewala family. Instead of congratulating the family, the government has started taking action against them. The state government should have ignored the letter from the central government.














Meanwhile, it has been learned that the Union Health Ministry has written a letter to Punjab's health department seeking a report on the child delivered by Charan Kaur through IVF while citing a media report. 


In the letter, the ministry pointed out that under section 21 (g) (i) of the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, the prescribed age for a woman undergoing ART services is between 21-50 whereas Moose Wala's mother is 58 years old and father is aged around 60.
