Chandigarh: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Wednesday appeared before the Special Investigation Team (SIT) in the Kotkapura firing case.

This is his second appearance in a month. In 2015, the Kotkapura police had opened fire on a mob protesting against the sacrilege case. Sukhbir Badal was the deputy chief minister in the SAD-BJP government at that time and also held the home portfolio.

He was accompanied by senior leaders including Bikram Singh Majithia, Diljit Cheema and many others.

Earlier, the SIT had summoned Badal on September 6 and questioned him for over three hours in connection with the Behbal Kalan firing case.

The Special Investigation Team headed by ADGP L K Yadav is probing both the incidents of firing.
