Offerings from the “golak” of Gurdwara Omrana Sahib, Sangha village, were stolen on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday. The theft came to the notice of the gurdwara management on Monday morning when its president Tarsem Singh opened gates of the shrine at 4 am in the morning. He noticed that the lock of the gurdwara complex and that of the “golak” was broken. The thieves took away offerings from the “golak”.

On checking footage of the CCTV cameras installed at the gurdwara, it was found that three masked thieves had entered the complex and taken away the offerings.
