Delhi Police Clarify Viral Video of Personnel Wearing Shoes at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib
Delhi Police clarified that a viral video showing personnel wearing shoes at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib was misleading, as officers were walking through a common passage used by all visitors before the shoe-removal area. The police described the video's circulation as malicious, aimed at disturbing religious harmony, and announced legal action against those spreading it. The Gurdwara's manager denied any police-protester clashes during protests demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, affirming normal religious activities continued.
