Punjab: Bibi Jagir Kaur resigns from Badal cabinet - NewsX

Senior Punjab minister Bibi Jagir Kaur has sent her resignation to the chief minister following the court verdict but resignation is yet to be accepted. Bibi Jagir Kaur was sent to jail after she was convicted and sentenced to 5 years imprisonment by a CBI court for conspiring in forcible abortion and abduction in connection with the mysterious death of her teenage daughter Harpreet Kaur 12 years ago.
