Faridkot, October 20

About 80 days after Pardeep Kumar, an accused in three sacrilege cases of Bargari and Burj Jawahar Singh Wala, was released on the bail, the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the police produced him before the Court of Judicial Magistrate here for recording his statement under Section 164 of the CrPC on Tuesday.

Pardeep Kumar was among the six persons arrested by the SIT on May 16. He was granted bail along with other accused on August 3 this year. As three prime accused in the cases — Pardeep Kler, Harsh Dhuri and Sandeep Bareta, the central committee members of the dera — are absconding, the SIT is facing problem in questioning Sirsa dera head Gurmeet Ram Rahim in absence of any linking evidence. — TNS
