Mansa Police Seal SAD Leader’s Properties in Drug Trafficking Case Involving Family
Mansa police sealed properties worth over Rs 12.35 crore belonging to SAD leader Malkit Singh amid a drug trafficking case involving his sons. Authorities recovered 500 gm of heroin from Kulwinderjit Singh, leading to multiple cases against him, Malkit Singh, and another son, Maninderjit Singh. While police cited the state’s anti-drug campaign, Malkit's wife, Sarabjit Kaur, claimed the cases are politically motivated and noted his acquittal in previous cases. The family plans to challenge the police action in court.
