Punjab BJP expels Satkar Kaur, arrested for trying to peddle 100 grams of heroin

The Punjab BJP on Thursday expelled party leader and former MLA Satkar Kaur for six years, a day after she was arrested in a drugs case.
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.
