Sikh bizman, anti-Khalistan voice, dies mysteriously in US
Amritsar: US-based businessman and social activist Sukhi Chahal – known for his anti-Khalistani views -- has died under suspicious circumstances in California. Jaspal Singh, a close friend of Sukhi, said on Saturday that Sukhi was invited to dinner by an acquaintance at their residence on Thursday. "Shortly after dinner, his health suddenly deteriorated, and he died on the spot," Singh said, adding that Sukhi was in good health, and his sudden and unexplained death has raised several questions. Sukhi was widely known for his outspoken criticism of Khalistani elements abroad, he said. According to Singh, what raises suspicion is that Sukhi died ahead of the August 17 Khalistan Referendum event in Washington DC, which he was opposing tooth and nail, Singh said. Founder and CEO of The Khalsa Today, Sukhi Chahal was receiving frequent death threats from pro-Khalistan elements. Yet, he remained steadfast in his views and continued his advocacy fearlessly, said Boota Singh Kaler, one of his acquaintances in California. He further said that his death has triggered a wave of grief among pro-India communities. "Police are investigating the incident," Kaler said, adding that the autopsy report will reveal the truth.

Punjab govt eases family pension rules for NPS employees
Chandigarh: Punjab finance minister Harpal Singh Cheema on Saturday announced that the finance department had withdrawn a key option clause for new pension scheme (NPS) employees to receive family or invalid pension. Terming it a move to support the families of state govt employees, he said this decision comes after the govt recognised the undue hardship caused to the families of employees who died in harness, as most did not formally exercise this option. In a press statement, Cheema said the govt previously extended additional relief in the form of a family or invalid pension to NPS employees who became disabled or died while in service through finance department instructions dated Oct 8, 2021. However, Clause 6 of these instructions required both existing and newly recruited employees to choose within a specific timeframe whether they wanted to receive the family or invalid pension or the benefits of the NPS scheme. He said that this condition created significant difficulties for families who were unaware of the requirement or were unable to complete the process. Cheema said the finance department has now deleted Clause 6 of the instructions on June 27, 2025, to rectify the issue. He said this change, which was initially implemented for Punjab govt NPS employees, has now been extended to include NPS employees of boards, corporations, public sector undertakings (PSUs), and state autonomous bodies (SABs). "This ensures that all employees under the NPS are now eligible for the additional relief without having to formally exercise the option," he added.
