Kesgarh Sahib violation: SGPC seeks narco test of accused

Amritsar, September 18

SGPC chief Bibi Jagir Kaur has sought brain mapping and narco-analysis test of Paramjeet Singh of Ludhiana, who was recently held for violating the Sikh ‘rehat maryada’ by smoking on the premises of Takht Kesgarh Sahib.

Addressing mediapersons here today, she expressed apprehension that the government may try to brush the matter under the carpet. She recalled that justice was not delivered in the sacrilege incidents that had taken place at Jauriyan and Fatehgarh Sahib in the past. “In both cases, the excuse was given that the accused were mentally upset,” she said. However, this time, the accused was totally fit as he gave all details regarding his father being a member of a committee constituted by the Dera Sacha Sauda, she claimed. She said there was a conspiracy behind his reprehensible move which needed to be unearthed to trace the persons behind the desecration. — TNS
