Two days after Punjabi singer Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu Moosewala’s parents welcomed a baby boy, his father Balkaur Singh on Tuesday alleged that the government was “harassing him asking him to prove that his child was legit.”

Taking to a video on his social media platforms, Balkaur Singh said that he was being harassed by the district administration since morning to provide documents. He appealed to the Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to give him time to get done with the treatment after which he would provide all documents about his newborn.

He said, “Because of your blessings, the almighty blessed us by sending Shubhdeep back to us. But I am sad since morning. The district administration is harassing me since morning that I should supply the documents of this child. I am being asked all kinds of questions to prove that this child is legit.”

He added, “I want to make an appeal to the government especially the Chief Minister that let the treatment of my wife get over. I live here. I will continue to live here. Where ever you will summon me, I will come. “

In a message to the CM, he said , “I want to tell you in strong words that you have a habit of taking a U turn. If you are trying to harass me then come fully prepared to take me on. I am not among those who take U turns. As far as law of land is concerned I want to tell you that my son lived for 28 years by respecting the law. I, being an ex serviceman, also respect the law. I have not violated the law at any point. If I have done it then you put me in jail. Your advisors give you such advice that it becomes difficult to go back on that decision. If you do not have trust in me then put me behind bars by registering an FIR. Then do your investigation. At the same time I want to tell you that I will give you the legal documents and get out of this clean. “

Deputy Commissioner of Mansa, Paramvir Singh, when contacted , denied the allegations. He said, “I see this is based on some social media post. As far as we are concerned nobody has been directed from district administration to check any antecedents of Mr balkaur Singh’s newborn.”

The child was born at Jindal hospital in Bathinda on Sunday. Various political leaders had congratulated the family. Moosewala’s fans had celebrated. Balkaur Singh had stated that he had named him Shubhdeep, as he had come back to give them happiness.

Moosewala was the only child of his parents. Charan Kaur is 58 and his father, Balkaur Singh is 60. She was elected Sarpanch on Moosa village earlier. Charan Kaur has been staying away from the public glare for over six months.

Sources said his parents had opted for IVF technique for pregnancy and had gone abroad for the same last year. The family had at that time requested that the news should not be made public till the procedure becomes successful.
