Ropar: Punjab’s ruling Aam Aadmi Party’s Patiala (Rural) MLA Dr Balbir Singh has been convicted in a criminal case. Additional chief judicial magistrate Ravi Inder Singh announced three-year rigorous imprisonment for the accused along with three others. He was, however, granted bail on the spot.
A case was registered against Dr Balbir Singh on June 13, 2011 on the complaint of his wife's sister Rupinderjit Kaur and her husband Mewa Singh. They had alleged that Dr Balbir Singh along with other accused, including Rahul and Parminder Singh, attacked them when they were in Tapparian Dial Singh, near Chamkaur Sahib, to irrigate their fields.
