Sonu Sood Assures 'good Home And Nice School' To Children Affected By Punjab Hooch Tragedy

After helping migrant workers reach their homes safe and sound, Sonu Sood has taken on another mission. Recently, the Bollywood actor promised to financially support a family, who lost their parents in the recent Punjab hooch tragedy. Sonu said, "I ensure these little kids from Punjab will have a good home, a nice school and a bright future ahead,"(sic) on social media. 

Karanpreet (13), Gurpreet (11), Arshpreet (9), and Sandeep (5), lost their parents in the Punjab hooch tragedy. While their father died of consuming spurious liquor, their mother succumbed to death due to the shock of her partner's demise. The children are currently at their uncle Sarwan Singh's residence, who allegedly is facing constraints in providing his brother's children with basic necessities. In an interview with Tribune India, Sarwan Singh revealed that due to limited earning, he is unable to take care of his brother's children.
