Overview
- The government delegation including Harpal Singh Cheema and minister Harjot Singh Bains reviewed records at Rasokhana Nabh Kanwal Raja Sahib and reported no anomalies.
- Officials said the assertion that 139 of 169 traced saroops lacked documentation stemmed from a miscommunication between the SIT and the chief minister’s office.
- The SIT continues investigating the 328 saroops flagged in a 2020 SGPC audit, and former SGPC internal auditor Satinder Singh Kohli has been arrested.
- The shrine’s management, which had contested the SIT’s press note about undocumented saroops, is not facing any case, and the chief minister plans to visit.
- Political fallout grew as opposition leaders demanded accountability from Bhagwant Mann and Banga MLA Sukhwinder Kumar Sukhi resigned his Conware chairmanship.
