Ex-SGPC general secretary held for hurting sentiments

CHANDIGARH: Police authorities have arrested former Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) general secretary Sukhdev Singh Bhaur after a video surfaced showing him allegedly using objectionable language against Dalit-dominated Dera Sachkhand Ballan leader and Guru Ravidas follower Ramanand Dass. A case has been registered under Section 295-A (malicious acts to outrage religious feelings) of the IPC and Section 66-A of the Information Technology Act against Bhaur. The move came after hundreds of members of the Ravidas community surrounded Bhaur's residence at Banga and raised slogans against him. A team led by Banga DSP Deepika Singh rush to the spot and tried to bring the situation under control.
