Anandpur Sahib, September 13
A resident of Ludhaina was on Monday arrested for allegedly smoking at Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib.
Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) security guards deployed on the spot overpowered Paramjit Singh, a Jatt Sikh, and handed him over to the local police.
Relatives of the accused informed the police that for the last one year he was under treatment for schizophrenia, a disorder that affects a person’s ability to think, feel and behave clearly.
SGPC security guard Swaran Singh informed the police that it was around 4.30 am when Paramjit Singh after taking a puff threw his cigarette behind the ragis sitting in darbar sahib and blew the smoke towards them. Ropar SSP Vivek Sheel Soni said the accused had been booked and arrested.
SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur condemned the incident and said some anti-Sikh forces were adopting various tactics to disturb peace in the state. — TNS
