Former cricketer and politician Navjot Singh Sidhu’s wife Navjot Kaur is facing serious legal trouble after her husband claimed she cured her stage four cancer using diet alone.
The Chhatisgarh Civil Society sent the legal notice demanding a staggering INR 850 crore, accusing the couple of making misleading health claims.
The controversy began when Sidhu said during a press conference on November 23 that his wife, once given only a five percent chance of survival by doctors, became cancer-free in just 40 days by switching to a strict, specialized diet. Sidhu also claimed that he cured his own fatty liver disease following the same nutritional regimen.
According to the legal notice, Sidhu’s claims could potentially mislead cancer patients into abandoning conventional treatments, risking their lives in the process. The notice demands that the couple provide scientific proof to back their extraordinary health claims or face the ₹850 crore penalty for endangering public health.
The notice further warned that spreading such as “false information” could create a negative perception of allopathic treatments, which are widely accepted as standard care for cancer.
The civil society group has given Sidhu’s wife seven days to respond to the accusations or face legal consequences.
Earlier, on 22 November 2024, in a press conference, Sidhu shared his belief that a combination of diet and lifestyle changes played a crucial role in his wife, Navjot Kaur Sidhu’s recovery.
His wife was diagnosed with stage-4 cancer, which had metastasized to the skin. He credited her recovery to a special regimen that involved cutting out sugar, rice, flour, and tea while incorporating various herbs and natural remedies.
“I did not make any arrangements on my side. After researching Ayurveda, American doctors, and research in India, I read for 10 hours and came to the common denominator: cut sugar,” he revealed.
Sidhu explained the simple routine he followed, which he believes helped his wife recover.
“The first thing she used to have in the morning was lemon water with raw turmeric, garlic, and an apple. Half an hour later, she had neem leaves. This costs no money. Seriously, I want to tell everyone that this worked for her in 40 days, even at stage four cancer,” he detailed.
Proudly sharing the outcome of his wife’s treatment, he said, “Her doctors were shocked when she underwent an operation because the cancer cells were gone. After 45 to 50 days post-operation, there were no cancer cells left.”
Sidhu also claimed that he achieved this result despite being in the later stages of cancer, attributing his success to the natural and Ayurvedic treatments he followed.
