Amritsar, Jan. 14 -- A day after Akal Takht acting jathedar Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargaj directed the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) to cooperate with the Punjabgovernment, members of the special investigation team (SIT) on Tuesday visited the gurdwara body's head office in Amritsar and its sub-office in Chandigarh. The SIT, probing the case of 328 missing sacred saroops of Guru Granth Sahib, sought crucial records to expedite the investigation. In Amritsar, the team led by Punjab AIG (vigilance) Jagatpreet Singh, along with DCP (investigation) Ravinderpal Singh Sandhu and ADCP Harpal Singh, visited the SGPC headquarters within the Golden Temple complex.
