Controversy Over Police Action and Protests at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib in Delhi
A controversy arose after protesters sought refuge at Gurdwara Bangla Sahib during anti-Chief Election Commissioner demonstrations, leading to police detentions and allegations of protocol violations. Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann condemned Delhi Police's alleged entry with shoes and bareheaded, calling it disrespectful. The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) filed a police complaint against AAP leaders, including Arvind Kejriwal, accusing them of politicising the shrine by staging protests and circulating misleading videos. Delhi Police denied wrongdoing and initiated legal action amid calls for accountability from various political and religious groups.
