It was an eventful day for Supreme Court yesterday. After 34 years, they finally gave the verdict on the case which involved one of the famous personalities, cricketer and politician of India Navjot Singh Sidhu. Navjot Singh Sidhu has been sentenced to one year of jail for a road rage incident which happened in 1988. Due to the road rage incident, a person died as well and the culprit was Sidhu. Now, it has been learnt that Sidhu will surrender in Patiala court.
“Will submit to the majesty of law…,” Sidhu, who is not averse to even sharp criticism of his own party and its policies and leaders, said in a tweet on Thursday.
The judgment came when Sidhu, riding on an elephant, was staging a protest, along with party workers, against the price rise in Patiala where the incident of road rage was reported in 1988.
The apex court, which reserved the judgment in March, overturned its 2018 judgment, which had reduced the punishment for Sidhu in the case after a review petition was filed by the family of Gurnam Singh, who had died in the incident.
