SAD (Punar Surjit) Seeks SIT Probe into Amarjit Singh Chawla Rape Allegations
The Shiromani Akali Dal (Punar Surjit) has requested Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to form a high-level, impartial Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe the rape allegations against former SAD leader Amarjit Singh Chawla. The case involves questions about the complainant's stay at an SGPC-run facility and her travel arrangements from Bahrain. Chawla denies the charges and has resigned from party posts. The ruling Aam Aadmi Party has criticized opposition leaders for their silence, while calls for a swift SIT investigation continue amid political tensions ahead of the 2027 Punjab elections.
