Akal Takht Orders SGPC to Cooperate in Probe of 328 Missing Guru Granth Sahib Saroops

The directive permits investigators to review records only at the SGPC’s Chandigarh sub-office in the president’s presence.

Overview

  • Acting Jathedar Giani Kuldip Singh Gargaj reversed the earlier stance that opposed police involvement in the case.
  • SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami is authorized to provide information limited to the matter of the missing saroops.
  • The Ishar Singh commission found collusion by 16 employees who distributed saroops without depositing the prescribed offerings.
  • Punjab Police are pursuing an FIR filed on December 7 with an SIT and have arrested former internal auditor Satinder Singh Kohli on related charges.
  • Akal Takht warned political parties and commentators against exploiting the issue or using disrespectful language as tensions persist between the AAP government and the SGPC.
