Information regarding Balkaur Singh’s account was shared on the official social media accounts of Sidhu Moose Wala. The father has shared a picture with his son along with the #Justiceforsidhumoosewala. The description reads proud father of Sidhu Moose Wala. Similarly, a post with Balkaur Singh’s account was shared on Twitter and says, “One and only official Twitter account of Sardar Balkaur Singh.”

Within five hours, Balkaur’s account on Instagram got 1.61 lakh followers and around 2.1 lakh likes on the first picture shared by him with 15k comments saying “Justice for Sidhu Moose Wala’.

A story uploaded on the profile has a picture of the father-son duo with lyrics by Sidhu Moose Wala’s song, “Ik gal rakhi meri yaad puttra ahh baapu bada aa proud tere te, dab gaya duniya ne veham paaleya utth putt jhotteya oye Moose Waleya (Just remember one thing your father is so proud of you).”

Balkaur Singh recently said: “Now we have decided to come on the streets with the support of the people to get justice for the murder of our son if the government fails to reveal people behind the scene.”

Claiming that only partial justice has been with the arrest of the shooters, Balkaur Singh said the police have not been able to bring the real killers of Sidhu to the fore. He said those who provided money to the shooters and sheltered them were equally responsible and must be brought to book.
