Babushahi Bureau
Tarn Taran, August 21, 2025 – Daughter of Indira Gandhi’s Assassin Bibi Amrit Kaur Maloya has announced her candidacy as an independent contestant in the upcoming Tarn Taran bypolls on Thursday. She is the daughter of Beant Singh—who assassinated former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi—and sister of Punjab MP Sarabjit Singh Khalsa, a prominent leader of Akali Dal (Waris Punjab De) and from Faridkot.
The Tarn Taran seat recently became vacant, leading to vigorous political activity with numerous parties and influential figures entering the fray. The Akali Dal (Waris Punjab De), led by Tarsem Singh—the father of Sikh leader Amritpal Singh—is also contesting the bypoll. The party had earlier invited renowned human rights activist Paramjit Kaur Khalra to stand as their candidate, but she declined.
