After the Faridkot firing video went viral, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann took to his Twitter handle and stated that he has directed Punjab Police to strictly maintain law and order.

Police and civil officials have been given strict instructions to maintain peace in the state," wrote Punjab CM Mann.
Punjab's law and order have been a talking point for the past few days, especially after the murder of Shiv Sena leader Sudhir Suri. For the unversed, Shiv Sena leader Sudhir Suri was shot dead in broad daylight in Amritsar when he was sitting on a dharna outside the temple. Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav informed that the nabbed shooter's name is Sandeep Sunny and he was a shopkeeper. However, multiple reports suggested that the Shiv Sena leader was on the hit list of the Pro Khalistan organisation. In fact, Canada-based Lakhbir Singh Landa took the responsibility of the killing of Sudhir Suri. However, Punjab Police Cyber Cell did not confirm it and started a probe into the matter.
Bargari Sacrilege Case
For the unversed, on 1 June 2015, the Guru Granth Sahib was stolen from a gurdwara in village Burj Jawahar Singhwala in Faridkot. The holy book, as ordained by the last and tenth Guru, Guru Gobind Singh, is considered a “living guru”. Stealing or damaging it amounts to sacrilege of the highest order in the Sikh religion. To be precise, the 2015 Guru Granth Sahib desecration refers to a series of desecration incidents of the Sikh Guru Guru Granth Sahib and subsequent protests that took place in Punjab, India in October 2015. The first incident of desecration was reported from Bargari, Faridkot district, where 110 torn Angs of the holy Guru were found on 12 October.
