Questions Raised Over SGPC's Handling of Bahrain Woman Allegations and Financial Transactions

AAP's Baltej Pannu questioned a 1 lakh rupee transfer from the SGPC secretary's account to the woman and criticized the SGPC's inquiry committee. Sikh bodies have sought details on the woman's stay, financial assistance, and the SGPC's response to complaints, urging transparency and accountability.
