Hours after he was booked for rape and extortion, Sucha Singh Langah, who was a core committee member of the Akali Dal, said he had resigned from all party posts and from the membership of the SGPC. “I have full faith in judiciary. Therefore, I am submitting to the process of law by surrendering in the court on Saturday. I have firm belief that truth will come out and justice will be done to me,” he said. Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Badal, who accepted Langah’s resignation from all party posts with immediate effect, said that he had received a communiqué from Langah stating he wished to tender his resignation from all party posts and submit himself to the process of law.
