satkar-kaur-expelled-from-punjab-bjp-after-drug-case-arrest

The following day after Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party's Satkar Kaur was arrested in a drugs case, the party on Thursday expelled her who also has been MLA for six years. 

 

Punjab BJP general secretary Anil Sarin said in a statement issued here on Thursday that Kaur has been expelled on the directions of Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar.

 

Kaur, a former Congress MLA, and her nephew Jaskeerat Singh were arrested on Wednesday for allegedly trying to peddle over 100 grams of heroin in Mohali's Kharar.

 

Police had said a total of 128 grams of heroin was recovered from the former MLA Kaur and her nephew.

 

Kaur represented the Ferozepur Rural constituency in the assembly from 2017-2022. But the Congress denied her a ticket in the 2022 assembly polls after which she joined the BJP.
