SGPC president  Kirpal Singh Badungar announced the panel including SGPC vice-president Baba Buta Singh, general secretary Amarjit Singh Chawla, and SGPC member from Bathinda district Jathedar Mohan Singh Bangi.

“The decision to form probe panel has been taken on the direction of Jathedar Akal Takht Sahib. The committee will submit its report in two weeks,” said Badungar.

SGPC chief said that the committee will get the full video of  the function and then prepare its report.
