Chandigarh, March 15

Senior SAD leader and former SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur today called for an inquiry into the “unaccounted wealth” amassed by former Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Khaira.

Addressing a press conference here today, she said the Enforcement Directorate should investigate allegations of drug trade against Khaira.

Bibi Jagir Kaur, who released a video footage, alleged Gurdev Singh, who is involved in a drug case, had showered currency notes on Khaira at a function. She alleged Gurdev Singh and another drug smuggler operated under Khaira’s patronage.

The other smuggler was wanted in the multi-crore drug trafficking case and had been named as a trafficker by prime accused Anup Kahlon, she alleged.

Bibi alleged that Khaira, who owned only 17 acres of land, had built a Rs 5 crore house at his native village Ramgarh. Also, he had a Rs 40-crore worth house in Chandigarh.

“Khaira is an owner of luxury vehicles and he portrays himself as a rich man,” Bibi claimed. Khaira rubbished the charges.
