Sidhu’s Wife Diagnosed with Stage 2 Cancer, cricketer turned politician remains in jail

New Delhi (India), March 23, 2023: Former President of the Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee, Navjot Kaur, has been diagnosed with stage 2 invasive cancer. She shared the news on social media and expressed her concern for her husband, Navjot Singh Sidhu, who is currently serving a one-year jail term in Patiala central prison for a 1988 road rage death case.

Kaur stated that “He (Navjot S. Sidhu) is in prison for a crime he has not committed. Forgive all those involved.”

In her emotional post, Kaur revealed that she had been waiting for her husband to be released from prison but was forced to undergo surgery due to her diagnosis. She acknowledged the power of truth and expressed her belief in God’s plan. Kaur also thanked Congress Punjab president Amarinder Singh Raja for his well-wishes and prayers for her speedy recovery.

Sidhu, a former Indian cricketer, was sentenced to a one-year jail term in 2018 for causing the death of a man in a road rage incident that occurred in 1988. He was released on bail shortly after the sentencing but was sent back to jail in January 2022 after the Supreme Court overturned his acquittal.

The news of Kaur’s diagnosis has garnered sympathy and support from the public, with many expressing their well-wishes for her recovery and calling for Sidhu’s release from prison.
