SIT questions Akshay Kumar over sacrilege

CHANDIGARH: Actor Akshay Kumar has appeared before a special investigation team (SIT) of the Punjab Police which is currently investigating the incidents of sacrilege of the Guru Granth Sahib and the subsequent firing of protestors in 2015. Kumar arrived at the Punjab police headquarters in Chandigarh after the special team sent him a notice under Section 160 of Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC). “I don't know why I've been dragged in this case. All allegations of the meeting looks like a script of a movie. I was in Punjab in 2011 for a performance that's when I happen to meet Sukhbir Badal.” He was questioned regarding his alleged role in brokering a deal between the controversial godman, who was later convicted of rape and sentenced of 20 years' imprisonment and Sukhbir Badal in Mumbai in 2015.
