Nihang Sikhs sitting on the Singhu border of Sonipat have challenged the Haryana Police in connection with the murder of Lakhbir Singh, who was killed two days ago. After the surrender of Bhagwant Singh and Gobindpreet Singh on Saturday night, the Nihangs made it clear that no one else would surrender now. They warned the Sonipat police administration that now, if any other Nihang is arrested, then they will get arrested four, who have surrendered in this case, out from the jail.
After the surrender of Bhagwant Singh and Gobindpreet Singh, Nihang Baba Raja Ram Singh said, “अगर पुलिस अधिकारियां ने किसी होर नू गिरफ्तार करण दी गल्ल कित्ती तां जेहड़े चार बंदे (आदमी) अंदर हैं, अस्सी ओहनां नूं वी बाहर कड्ढ ल्यावांगे (The administration should not expect more arrests from us now. If the police officers arrested anyone then we will get arrested four out from the jail).
