Objectionable video matter: Former Khalsa Diwan chief’s son commits suicide

A day after joining investigation, Inderpreet Singh Chadha, son of former Chief Khalsa Diwan president Charanjit Singh Chadha, reportedly committed suicide by shooting himself in Amritsar on Wednesday.

As per the police, Inderpreet was rushed to Ivy Hospital in Amritsar at around 2 pm, where doctors declared him brought dead. Hospital authorities have also confirmed his death. Police commissioner SS Srivastava, however, said he had no information about the alleged suicide but sources within the police have confirmed the news to HT.

Inderpreet had joined probe against his father, after an objectionable video surfaced, on Tuesday. Additional deputy commissioner of police-crime (ADCP-C) Harjit Singh had said: “Chadha’s son turned up before the special investigation team (SIT) but he said he had no idea about the whereabouts of his father.”

 A few days ago, a video showing the octogenarian Charanjit Singh Chadha with a woman principal of a school run by the organisation surfaced on social media leading to furore.
