Cricketer-turned-politician and former Punjab Congress Chief Navjot Singh Sidhu is likely to be released from the Patiala jail on Saturday.
He is serving a one-year jail term in Patiala central prison in a 1988 road rage death case. In May last year, the Congress leader and former Punjab minister was sentenced to one year of imprisonment by the Supreme Court in the three-decade-old road rage case.
Sidhu is lodged in Patiala central prison. As per the official Twitter account of the former Member of Parliament, the authorities concerned have informed about the Sidhu’s release from the jail.
“This is to inform everyone that Sardar Navjot Singh Sidhu will be released from Patiala Jail tomorrow. (As informed by the concerned authorities),” the official Twitter of Sidhu tweeted.
The development comes days after his wife Navjot Kaur Sidhu revealed that she has been diagnosed with stage 2 cancer. She also wrote an emotional letter to her husband in jail, stating she is waiting for him and ‘probably suffering more than him’.
In a tweet she wrote, “He is in the prison for a crime he has not committed. Forgive all those involved. Waiting for you each day outside probably suffering more than you. As usual trying to take your pain away, asked for sharing it. Happened to see a small growth, knew it was bad. Waited for You, seeing you were denied justice again and again. ruth is so powerful but it takes your tests time and again. KALYUG. Sorry can’t wait for you because it’s stage 2 invasive cancer. Going under the knife today. No one is to be blamed because it’s GODS plan:PERFECT.”
