Amritsar: The century old charitable-cum-
educational body, Chief Khalsa Dewan, has removed its chief
Charanjit Singh Chadha after an objectionable video
purportedly featuring him with a woman school principal went
viral.
Chadha, however, termed the clippings as "concocted" with
a motive to tarnish his image in the society.
Meanwhile, the principal shown in the video, filed a
police complaint accusing Chadha of forcing her to do immoral
act and threatening her that she would be fired if she failed
to heed to his advances.
The woman has asked for police protection, stating that
an influential person like Chadha might harm her, police said.
Meanwhile, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee
(SGPC) said various complaints have been received at the
highest Sikh temporal seat Akal Takht with a demand to
excommunicate Chadha from the Sikh fold, while equating him
with tainted former SAD minister Sucha Singh Langah.
Langah was expelled from the Sikh fold after his sleazy
video went viral on social media, it said.
Chief Khalsa Dewan runs about 50 schools, two management
colleges, a nursing college and a hospital.
Jathedar Akal Takht Gurbachan Singh said in the light of
the video clip, Chadha has been summoned at the Akal Takht to
appear before the five Sikh head priests, and that he has been
banned from taking part in any religious activity.
