“In 1986, Sidhu kicked my mother out of the house. And, she died as unknown at a railway station,” Suman Toor, elder sister of cricketer-turned-politician alleged.
Suman Toor has alleged that her “cold-blooded” brother left their ‘depressed’ mother to die to “quench his lust to usurp family property”.
A response from Navjot Singh Sidhu to the allegations is still awaited.
