Amritsar, June 20

The SGPC has approached the DGP to ensure the security of former acting Jathedar of Takht Damdama Sahib Giani Gurmukh Singh.

Giani Gurmukh Singh, who is now serving as head priest of Gurdwara Nauwin Patshahi, Dhamtan Sahib in Jind had received a anonymous threatening letter, allegedly from controversial Dera Sirsa supporters, at his ancestral place in Arif Ke village in Ferozepur.

Committee chief KS Badungar said that “I have also written to DGP Suresh Arora that the matter should be thoroughly probed and the guilty brought to book,” he said.

Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh too has echoed similar views.

Meanwhile, SGPC general secretary AS Chawla said that such an instance has raised a question mark on the law and order situation in the state. “Some disgruntled elements want to vitiate peace in the state. It is the liability of the government to nab the culprits”, he said.
