Mansa: Late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala\u2019s father Balkaur Singh has issued a public clarification amid an ongoing dispute over financial dealings linked to his son. The statement comes days after music director Bunty Bains shared an audio clip allegedly featuring a conversation between Moosewala\u2019s mother Charan Kaur and himself.<\/p>\n
In a social media post, Balkaur Singh said the family never intended to bring private matters into the public domain but felt compelled to respond after the audio was \u201cdistorted and presented selectively.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u2018All financial matters were handled by you\u2019<\/p>\n
Balkaur Singh stated that all financial transactions related to Moosewala\u2019s work were handled by Bains. \u201cAll reports and accounts were with you. We trusted you completely,\u201d he wrote. He also claimed that Bains had advised them against receiving large payments from a digital company in one go, citing possible tax complications.<\/p>\n
Allegation of backdated contract<\/p>\n
The singer\u2019s father further alleged that on June 4, 2022 \u2014 four days after Moosewala\u2019s death \u2014 Bains visited their home and got them to sign a contract that was backdated to August 2020. \u201cWe were in deep shock and not in a state of awareness. Why was there such urgency? Was it appropriate to get documents signed in that condition?\u201d he questioned.<\/p>\n
\u2018We never met Shabir\u2019<\/p>\n
Balkaur Singh also said the family had never met an individual named Shabir, nor had Moosewala. \u201cIf we didn\u2019t even know the person, how could we have signed any agreement or taken any decision?\u201d he asked. He added that they had met Gurpreet only once, and that too through Bains.<\/p>\n
The clarification has intensified the controversy surrounding the financial management of the late singer\u2019s work, even as the family maintains that they had acted in good faith and trust.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
