SGPC Seeks FIR From Delhi Police Over Atishi’s Alleged Remark as House Probe Continues

Competing forensic claims underscore a jurisdictional tug-of-war.

Overview

  • An SGPC delegation met Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golchha on January 21 to demand an FIR against AAP leader Atishi, citing the Assembly transcript and hurt Sikh sentiments.
  • Atishi has formally denied using derogatory language and, in a January 19 submission to the Privileges Committee, requested the unedited recording of proceedings and the complaint details.
  • The Delhi Assembly’s Privileges Committee has received her statement and will determine its next steps under House procedure.
  • Punjab Police have registered an FIR after a state forensic review reportedly found the social media video clip of the Assembly exchange to be doctored.
  • Delhi Speaker Vijender Gupta has called another state’s involvement unacceptable, cited an FSL report he says supports the House record, and indicated the matter could be sent to the CBI as BJP leaders pressed for an apology and punitive action.
