Case Registered Over Alleged Sacrilege at Birewala Jattan Gurdwara; New Committee FormedPreviousNext

Police have registered a case against unidentified individuals following reports of objectionable words found on a page of the Guru Granth Sahib at a gurdwara in Birewala Jattan village. The incident, which predates the new Punjab sacrilege law, is under investigation by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC). Tension arose when the new granthi informed local Nihangs, leading to a gathering at the gurdwara. A new five-member management committee has been formed, and the situation is currently peaceful.
