Protesters Detained at Delhi Gurdwara Amid Dispute Over Police Conduct and Political Claims
Protesters opposing Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar sought refuge at Delhi's Gurdwara Bangla Sahib, leading to police intervention to detain them. The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) condemned the use of the gurdwara for political protests, defending police actions. AAP leaders and Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann criticized the police for allegedly violating religious protocols by entering the shrine with shoes and bareheaded, calling it disrespectful. Delhi Police denied wrongdoing, stating personnel used a common passage and are pursuing legal action against videos circulated with alleged malicious intent. Political tensions have escalated amid these conflicting views.
