An incident of alleged sacrilege has come to light at a gurdwara in Ludhiana, where a woman reportedly disrobed in front of Guru Granth Sahib, creating chaos inside the premises.

The disturbing act took place at Gurdwara Sri Ravidas Ji Maharaj in village Jugiana near Sahnewal on August 21.

Devotees present at the time attempted to intervene, but she continued causing a disturbance. The situation was brought under control by the congregation, and the entire incident was captured on the gurdwara’s CCTV cameras.
