A high level delegation led by Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal will visit Mumbai on Tuesday to meet the members of the family of Balkar Singh, who was killed in the incident of firing allegedly by private security guards of Dera Sacha Sauda chief Gurmit Ram Rahim Singh.
    
A decision to send the delegation was taken at the meeting of the Core Committee of the party in Chandigarh on Monday, presided over by Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal.
