Congress leader Navjot Singh Sidhu was today sentenced to one year imprisonment by the Supreme Court for 1988 road rage accident case.
Just a few months after losing the election, this is another blow for the cricketer turn politician. The ruling was made by the Supreme Court today.
In the 1988 road accident case, Sidhu was initially released with a small fine, but the hearing of the case was once again started on the basis of a complaint by the family of the deceased. Sidhu was sentenced to one-year rigorous imprisonment by the apex court in the case.
Soon after the sentence by Supreme Court on Thursday, Navjot Singh Sidhu took to Twitter and said, “Will submit to the majesty of law ….”.
Will submit to the majesty of law ….
