SAD (Punar Surjit) Demands SIT Probe into Amarjit Singh Chawla Rape Case
A rape case against former SGPC member Amarjit Singh Chawla has prompted the Shiromani Akali Dal (Punar Surjit) faction to demand a high-level Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe. The delegation met Punjab's Chief Minister and Governor, seeking an impartial inquiry into the complainant's travel, stay, and related allegations involving SGPC officials. Chawla resigned and went into hiding amid accusations, while the Akal Takht excommunicated him. The ruling Aam Aadmi Party criticized opposition silence and called for accountability as investigations continue.
