Calls for CBI Probe into Rape Allegations Against Akali Dal Leader Amarjit Singh Chawla
The Shiromani Akali Dal leader Amarjit Singh Chawla faces a rape allegation, prompting calls for an impartial investigation. The Sikh Chintak Manch demands a special investigation team and resignations from key Sikh leaders on moral grounds. The SGPC urges the Punjab government to hand over the probe to the CBI, citing public distrust in the police inquiry. Investigations continue with some witnesses yet to cooperate, while Chawla denies the charges and has been excommunicated by the Akal Takht.
