Balkar Singh Biography

Indian politician and former police officer Balkar Singh transitioned from a 32-year police career to serve as an AAP minister and legislator.

Early life and background
Balkar Singh was born on 10 January 1962 in Jalandhar, Punjab. He studied at Khalsa College of Education in Amritsar and completed a Bachelor of Education in 1987. Singh comes from a Sikh family; his father is named Jagir Singh. He is married to Harpreet Kaur, who is described as a homemaker, and the couple have two sons, Shishobit Veer Singh and Hasham Veer Singh Sohal.

Career
Singh spent more than three decades as a police officer, serving for 32 years before retiring with the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police. During his service he received the President’s Police Medal for Distinguished Service. After leaving the police force he entered politics, joining the Aam Aadmi Party on 15 June 2021.

In the 2022 Punjab Assembly elections Singh contested the Kartarpur seat and won. Following his election he served on legislative committees, including the Committee on Public Accounts and the Committee on Government Assurances for 2022–23. In 2023 he was elevated to a cabinet position in the Punjab government and took on responsibilities at the Civil Secretariat as incharge of the Minister of Local Government and Parliamentary Affairs Department beginning 1 June 2023.

Beyond state-level roles, Singh has been assigned party responsibilities as Lok Sabha Prabhari (in-charge) for multiple regions: Jammu and Kashmir in 2023 and later for Sirsa, Haryana on 6 October 2023.

Public profile
Singh is associated with the Aam Aadmi Party and is publicly identified with Jalandhar as his hometown. His listed physical details include a height of approximately 6 feet (183 cm), black hair and black eyes. Public filings for the financial year 2020–2021 reported income and a breakdown of movable and immovable assets; an aggregate net worth figure is recorded with a 2024 date.

As a public figure he has been involved in controversies reported in the press. Allegations have been made regarding a claimed disability status connected to his son’s recruitment, and a separate allegation emerged in May 2024 involving a video clip shared online; Singh declined to comment on that material when asked. Additionally, an incident in June 2023 is reported in which a pilot vehicle escorting him was attacked by individuals under the influence of alcohol.
