Who are the Tut Brothers?
Tut Brothers are an NRI family originally hailing from Jalandhar, Punjab. As per reports, Tut Brothers are renowned sports promoters, big farmers, transporters & developers in the USA. NRI Surjit Singh Tut, Ranjit Singh Tut, Paritam Singh Tut and Amrjit Singh Tut from Village Paragpur (Jalandhar), settled in the USA are known as Tut Brother
The Tut Brothers are also the owners of the Global Kabaddi League. Tut Brothers emigrated from Paragpur - a prosperous NRI-dominated village on the Jalandhar-Ludhiana highway - to the US decades ago. They reportedly own 60,000 acres of farmland in California, Hawaii, and Belize, along with an export business.
Tut Brothers grabbed headlines when they constructed a lavish home in Punjab. Reports suggest that they wanted to expose their US-born children to Sikh ethos in a Punjabi milieu. With design inputs from a Denver-based architect firm, they have built in their ancestral village a 22,000 sq ft home at the cost of Rs 4 crore, which affords all the comforts the youngsters are used to in the US. It has an American-style foyer and terraces and an indoor pool with a 20-ft-high waterfall.
