Inderpreet was also the vice president of Chief Khalsa Dewan but was removed from the trust along with his father.
Charanjit Singh Chadha was removed by the trust members after a purported objectionable video clip of his with a female principal had appeared.
He had described video as "concocted" and "manufactured", but was booked under relevant sections of the law after the principal filed a police complaint, alleging Chadda pressured him into the "immoral act" threatening to get her removed from the job.
