Punjab's Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) on Monday, announced the second list of three more candidates for the approaching Lok Sabha polls. The party has fielded slain gangster Jaipal Bhullar's father from Ferozepur.
Bhupinder Singh Bhullar, whom the SAD (Amritsar) fielded from the Ferozepur Lok Sabha seat, is a retired inspector of the Punjab Police.
Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) is the splinter group of SAD. The Simranjit Singh Mann-led party fielded his son Emaan Singh Mann from the Amritsar seat and Harpal Singh Baler from Khadoor Sahib.
His son Jaipal Bhullar, along with another gangster, was gunned down in an encounter with police in Kolkata in 2021. Jaipal Bhullar had more than 40 criminal cases against him in Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan.
Simranjit Singh Mann is the sitting MP from Sangrur.
The party last month announced five candidates for Punjab and two for Haryana for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
Polling for 13 Lok Sabha seats in Punjab will be held in the seventh phase, on June 1, while voting for 10 Lok Sabha seats in Haryana will take place on May 25.
