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.
Sukhi would advise Indian immigrants to follow US laws and stay away from crimes. “The United States is a society of law and order. Crimes like assault by foreign visitors will not be tolerated. If you break the law in US, your US visa can be revoked, and you may be ineligible to return to the US,” Sukhi posted on his X account recently.
