Triggering another wave of protests, another incident of desecration was reported from Jalandhar district. A total of 14 pages of a 'bir' of Guru Granth Sahib were found strewn on the floor of a gurdwara at Ghryal village near Adampur on Sunday.
Angry Sikh protesters blocked the Adampur-Hoshiarpur highway, prompting the police to immediately deploy reinforcements.
One person identified as Avtar Singh Tari of Chomo village was reportedly arrested in the chaos that followed Sunday’s sacrilege, although the claim could not be immediately verified.
