Supreme Court reserves verdict on Navjot Sidhu in Road Rage case
Supreme Court reserves verdict on Navjot Sidhu in Road Rage case Supreme Court reserved its judgement on the appeal filed by former Indian cricketer and Punjab Minister, Navjot Singh Sidhu, in a road 1988 rage case on Wednesday.
Punjab minister Navjot Singh Sidhu on Tuesday told the SC that the verdict sentencing him to three years in a road rage case was flawed and not based on medical evidence. Mr Sidhu had allegedly hit a 65-year-old man, Gurnam Singh, on the head during an argument on a road in Patiala on 27 December 1988. Gurnam Singh died in hospital. The trial court had cleared Mr Sidhu of the charge in 1999 but the Punjab and Haryana high court sentenced him to three years in jail in December 2006. The Supreme Court had suspended the sentence the next year. Last week, the Punjab government had stunned Mr Sidhu when it backed his conviction and contradicted his contention that Gurnam Singh had died of a cardiac arrest. -PTC NewsSupreme Court reserved its judgement on the appeal filed by former Indian cricketer and Punjab Minister, Navjot Singh Sidhu, in a road 1988 rage case. pic.twitter.com/8ZPVH6NRX9 — ANI (@ANI) April 18, 2018
