Akal Takht Expels Amarjit Singh Chawla and Malkit Singh from Khalsa Panth
The Akal Takht has expelled former SGPC member Amarjit Singh Chawla and Additional Head Granthi Giani Malkit Singh from the Khalsa Panth following allegations against them. Chawla faces charges of rape, wrongful confinement, and criminal intimidation, which he denies, while Malkit Singh is accused of sending vulgar messages to the complainant. The decision, made by five Sikh head priests, directs the Sikh community to avoid associating with both men or allowing their participation in religious activities at Sikh institutions.
