The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare sought a report from the Government of Punjab regarding the IVF treatment of Sidhu Moosewala’s mother, Charan Kaur, and asked them to submit the report to the department.
The Centre has set the age limit for conceiving a child through the In vitro fertilisation or IVF method after late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala’s parents had their second baby last week through the assisted pregnancy procedure.
Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare SK Ranjan wrote to the Principal Secretary, Health, Government of Punjab, on March 14, asking the state to investigate the matter and submit a report to the department on the action taken in this case as per the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021.
"Under Section 21(g)(i) of the Assisted Reproductive Technology (Regulation) Act, 2021, the age limit prescribed for a woman going under ART Services is between 21-50 years," the notice reads.
The child was born at Jindal Hospital in Bathinda on Sunday, nearly two years after the singer was shot dead. Political leaders and Punjabi singer's fans congratulated the family. Balkaur Singh had said he had named him Shubhdeep as he had returned to give them happiness. Sidhu Moosewala was also called Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu.
Meanwhile, Sidhu Moosewala was murdered on May 29, 2022, in the Manasa district of Punjab. Thirty-one accused have been named in the Sidhu Moosewala murder case, including gangsters Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar, and 25 have been arrested so far.
