The Amritsar police have booked Avtar Singh Ria,
SGPC member from Fatehgarh Sahib district, on charges of duping an SGPC
employee on the pretext of regularising his services.
The matter came to light when Karamjit Singh Bunty (21), SGPC employee posted at Gurdwara Fatehgarh Sahib, reportedly committed suicide. His body was found from a railway track on October 10. He was a native of Verka in Amritsar district.
Sources said the matter was brought to the notice of SGPC chief Kirpal
Singh Badungar. “On Badungar’s direction, Ria returned the money. But he
started mentally harassing my son. On October 10, he left home never to
return,” Jatinder said.
