Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji thrown out of flat window!

New Delhi (KP) — A New Delhi Sikh was attacked by neighbors and the Saroop of Guru Granth Sahib in his house was thrown out in the street after the landlord evicted the Sikh’s family from their second floor apartment in the State Bank Colony near Gurdwara Nanak Pio Sahib.

The Sikh’s apartment had already been emptied due to the eviction but Guru Maharaj’s Saroop had not been moved due to a family emergency. But before this Sikh tenant could bring five Singhs to retrieve the Saroop, the Landlord, Ravi Singal removed the Saroop from the premises and tossed Guru Sahib in the street. The builder, along with nearby neighbors, also physically attacked the Sikh, leaving him battered and bruised.

As the local Sangat found out about this attack, hundreds of Sikhs gathered around the complex, and respectively removed the Sacred Saroop of Guru Sahib. Along with members of the Delhi Sikh Gurdawara Management Committee, they attempted to pressure the local Police to register a FIR complaint against the landlord and local neighbors. The Police declined to take such action against both.

After the Police inaction, hundreds of Sikh youth took it upon themselves to punish the perpetrators and ransacked the builder’s property during the late evening.

A Attack on Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is a knife wound to every Sikhs heart it will not be tolerated, even if the whole Sikh community has to be murdered by our enemies as a consequence!

SSP saw Akal Takth Jathedar Kaonke 'tortured to death'

Fresh evidence has emerged on the alleged murder of former Akal Takht Jathedar Gurdev Singh Kaonke inside a Jagraon police station, with a serving Senior Superintendent of Police's "eye-witness account" in a new book.

The SSP in a recoreded interview - reproduced by human right activist Ram Narayan Kumar in his book "Terror in Punjab: Narratives, Knowledge and Truth", scheduled for release on April 19 - disclosed how the Sikh priest was "tortured nearly to death" inside Sadar police station in his presence. And how sympathetic cops were humiliated by interrogators, including two senior Punjab Police officers with one of them now as SSP and another on deputation with the Union Government.

He claimed the then SSP of Jagraon, Swaran Singh, decided to kill Kaonke as he wanted to get his transfer deferred. Swaran Singh has denied the charge, saying interviews in a book carry no weight when the Supreme Court has already disposed of all petitions related to the Kaonke case.

The book covers the Punjab conflict with case studeies. While reproducing the transcript of the interview with the SSP, the authro has not disclosed his name. Kumar, who is also Convener of CCDP (Committee for Coordination on Disappearances in Punjab), has been working with Tapan Bose, secretary general of the South Asia Forum for Human Rights (SAFHR), on human rights violations in Punjab and Kashmir over the past few decades.

The SSP says on January 1, 1993 evening, he saw Kaonke being "huddled" on the floor of a cell in Sadar police station. "He had twisted himself into a knot... Immediately, Swaran Singh (the then SSP, Jagraon) had kaonke's blanket removed and DSP Sodhi and another cop, Channan Singh started kicking him. When blood started flowing, Swaran Singh look at me and said" "Twade Jathedar da peshab nikal gaya (Your Jathedar has peed).
