Punjab BJP general secretary Anil Sarin said in a statement issued here on Thursday that Kaur has been expelled on the directions of Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar.
Kaur, a former Congress MLA, and her nephew Jaskeerat Singh were arrested on Wednesday for allegedly trying to peddle over 100 grams of heroin in Mohali's Kharar.
