Punjab MLA Sukhwinder Kumar Sukhi Resigns Amid Missing 'Saroops' Controversy

Punjab MLA Sukhwinder Kumar Sukhi resigned as chairman of the Punjab State Container and Warehousing Corporation and relinquished his Cabinet rank following controversy over missing 'saroops' (sacred copies of the Guru Granth Sahib). The resignation came after Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann stated that 169 saroops were recovered during an investigation, though the gurdwara management disputed these claims. Kumar, who switched from Shiromani Akali Dal to AAP in 2024, expressed his intent to clarify the gurdwara's sanctity to the government.
