Toor, who looked visibly upset at the press conference, said, “I even went to Amristsar to meet him on January 20, but he refused to even let me inside the gate. He has blocked me on his mobile phone. I told him, ‘Sherry, you are a very cruel man’,” adding, “he has cut all ties with me and denies my existence.”

Recounting how Sidhu treated their mother, Toor became emotional and alleged that he left her to die as a destitute. She said they even had an elder sister who had died. “We have seen very tough times after our father’s death in 1986. Sidhu snatched away everything from us. All my father’s hard work came to nought, as we weren’t even allowed to live in the house he built for all of us. In 1989, my mother died as a destitute at Delhi raliway station.”

She also alleged that Sidhu “put an end to all family ties due to his greed” and drove their mother and eldest sister out soon after his father’s death.

Toor claimed all his life Sidhu had been lying about their parents. She alleged that Sidhu had claimed that their parents were separated when he was two years old but that was a lie. She also displayed a “family photo” and questioned whether he looked two in the picture.

She said, “I have proof of all that I am saying right now. Sidhu, who has a proof for everything, must be asked to come up with proof regarding this. I am ready to talk to him face to face. Sidhu separated his mother and sister from the family fortune and left them to perish. This is not a political issue, but a familial issue; I am only coming out with this now as I have been able to gather all the proof.”

Toor also claimed that their eldest sister was named Neelam Mahajan, and that their mother was a Hindu. “Sidhu is my only brother but I want justice for my mother,” she added.
