The SIT investigating the 2015 Behbal Kalan firing recorded the statement of former Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh regarding SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal’s “admission of guilt.” Badal was pronounced tankhah for the sacrilege incidents and the firing during a previous SAD-led government. The former Jathedar stated their domain was religious punishment, not legal action.
