'Nothing wrong': Akal Takht head granthi on influencer's murder

The Akal Takht Sahib's head granthi, Giani Malkit Singh, on Monday justified the recent murder of social media influencer Kanchan Kumari, also known as "Kamal Kaur Bhabhi", stating that the act was "appropriate" in light of her alleged role in promoting obscenity.

AMRITSAR:

"We should not listen to vulgar songs... This kind of treatment should be meted out to those who indulge in spreading vulgarity and defaming Sikh community. Nothing wrong has happened. This has happened earlier as well," he told reporters. The Takht head granthi is the second highest position after the jathedar. While jathedar focuses on the issues concerning the entire community, head granthi looks after "maryada" and daily routine rituals and ceremonies held at the highest Sikh temporal seat.
