Sikh body seeks inquiry into Ajnala sacrilege incident

Amritsar, January 24

A day after the arrest of a youth for allegedly attempting sacrilege at a gurdwara in Bhindi Aulakh village of Ajnala, the Akal Takht took notice of the incident. Akal Takht officiating Jathedar Giani Hapreet Singh and SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami have demanded a thorough police probe into the incident.

The accused identified as Gursahib Singh, earlier booked for theft, was now charged under Section 295A of the IPC. He was currently on a daylong police remand and raids were being conducted to nab his accomplice, Ganna.

Giani Harpreet Singh said there had been no let-up in such unpardonable acts that testified the failure of the government machinery in detecting the notorious elements. —
