The Special Investigation Team (SIT) arrested SS Kohli, prime accused in the disappearance of 328 sacred Guru Granth Sahib saroops, from a Chandigarh hotel—marking the first big win following Punjab High Court directives.
Former Cabinet Minister and AAP MLA Kuldeep Singh Dhalliwal called it a historic day for Sikh communities, who have awaited justice for four to five years amid protests and demands.
Case Background
Kohli, a former chartered accountant linked to SGPC, faces charges as the key figure in the sacrilege-related vanishings. Bhai Baldev Singh Wadala’s testimony proved crucial, alongside sustained Sikh agitation for accountability.
Future Assurances
Dhalliwal affirmed Punjab government’s resolve: All 16 accused will be apprehended soon, ensuring no leniency for those disrespecting Guru Granth Sahib. He urged continued faith in the process.
