Judicial System Denies Bail to Former SGPC Auditor in Sacred Text Disappearance Probe

In a significant development in the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of sacred Sikh texts, the court has formally rejected the bail application of former Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) auditor, Mr. Kohli. Currently held in judicial custody, Kohli had petitioned for regular bail, asserting his false implication in the case concerning the missing saroops (handwritten copies of the Guru Granth Sahib). The court's decision underscores the gravity with which authorities are treating this sensitive matter, which has profound religious and community implications. This ruling indicates judicial scrutiny of the evidence presented thus far, suggesting the prosecution's case holds sufficient weight to warrant continued detention during the investigative phase. The denial of bail at this juncture is a procedural move often interpreted as a reflection of the perceived flight risk, potential for evidence tampering, or the seriousness of the alleged offenses. The case, which has drawn considerable attention, continues to unfold as investigators work to trace the whereabouts of the missing religious artifacts and establish a clear chain of accountability. This judicial action reinforces the formal legal process underway to address what is being treated as a matter of significant cultural and spiritual consequence.
