Singh has completed a bachelor’s degree in B.Ed from Khalsa College Of Education Amritsar. As per the official report, he has more than Rs. 4 Crore in assets.
As of now, the official site of the government displays that Balkar Singh has no criminal history.
Balkar Singh is a Retired DCP. Singh has a wife and three children, however, as of now, their names aren’t made public.
What Did BJP Leader Bagga Claim?
Bagga, National Secretary of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), shared footage on his official X/Twitter account, claiming that a 21-year-old woman approached Balkar Singh for a job.
According to Bagga, Singh, who is the local bodies minister and Kartarpur Sahib MLA, took her number and later called her, demanding she undress on the video call in exchange for job opportunities.
Bagga alleged that Singh exposed himself during the call. These accusations surface just five days before Punjab’s Lok Sabha elections in 2024.
Bagga stated that he could not share the complete footage due to its content and demanded that Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann expel Balkar Singh within 24 hours.
“Sack Balkar Singh within 24 hours or else you will have to face the angry consequences of people in the upcoming Punjab elections,” Bagga warned.
This new scandal follows closely on the heels of the recent AAP MP Swati Maliwal assault case, which has already troubled the party.
Opposition Leaders Condemn CM Bhagwant Mann
Additionally, the Shiromani Akali Dal and Congress parties in Punjab have condemned CM Mann for “protecting and shielding characterless ministers like Balkar Singh and Lal Chand Kataruchak, whose s*x tapes have emerged in the public domain.”
For the unfamiliar, the polling for all 13 seats in Punjab and one seat in Chandigarh during the ongoing Lok Sabha elections will be held on June 1st, the last phase of the 2024 General Elections.
Congress, AAP, SAD, and BJP are contesting independently in the state. The results of these elections will be announced on June 4th.
