SGPC and AAP Clash Over Missing Guru Granth Sahib Copies

SGPC and AAP Clash Over Missing Guru Granth Sahib Copies

A former employee of the SGPC, Kanwaljit Singh, who had earlier reported the disappearance of 328 saroops of the Guru Granth Sahib, has been arrested by the Punjab Police.

Another person, Satinder Singh Kohli, was also arrested earlier.

The police conducted raids at 15 places in connection with the case.

The SGPC president, Harjinder Singh Dhami, has accused the AAP government of interfering in the matter for political gain.

The SGPC claims that the issue is an internal matter and should be handled by their own judicial mechanism.

The case involves serious charges under the Indian Penal Code, including criminal breach of trust and criminal conspiracy.

The AAP government, however, accuses the SGPC of not cooperating with the police probe and using the Akal Takht as a shield to protect those involved.
