The sudden and mysterious death of Sukhi Chahal, a notable US-based businessman and social activist known for his strong opposition to Khalistani separatism, has deeply impacted the Indian diaspora and anti-Khalistani communities, according to a Times of India report. Chahal’s unexpected demise in California has raised numerous questions among his friends and associates.
Jaspal Singh, a close friend, revealed that Chahal attended a dinner at an acquaintance’s home on Thursday. “Shortly after the meal, his health rapidly declined, and he passed away on the spot,” Singh explained on Saturday, noting that Chahal had been in good health before the incident.
As the founder and CEO of The Khalsa Today, Chahal was a prominent critic of Khalistani elements operating abroad. Friends, including Boota Singh Kaler, confirmed that Chahal had been receiving frequent death threats from pro-Khalistan groups but remained resolute in his advocacy. The timing of his death, just before a significant Khalistan Referendum event on August 17 in Washington DC, which he was actively opposing, has heightened suspicions among his associates.
Police are currently investigating the incident, and an autopsy report is awaited to determine the precise cause of death. Chahal’s passing has brought a wave of grief to pro-India communities worldwide, who regarded him as a brave voice against extremism. He consistently advised Indian immigrants to follow US laws and avoid criminal activities, highlighting the legal consequences for foreign visitors who break the law in the United States.
