The clash between Nihang Singhs and Punjab Police officers has sparked a massive row in the State. 5 Punjab Police officers including a DSP were injured and constable Jaspal Singh died after Nihang Singhs opened fire at them. Nihangs fired at policemen who reached Gurdwara Akal Bunga to prevent a clash between two groups of Nihangs over taking possession of the disputed shrine that is located close to the historical Gurdwara Ber Sahib. Now, Nihang Singhs-Punjab Police firing video has surfaced and it is going viral on social media.
In the Nihang Singhs-Punjab Police clash video, a cop can be seen holding an Assault Rifle (AR) in his defense outside the Gurudwara. Furthermore, sounds of gunshots can be heard in Nihangs-Punjab Police firing video.
Reports suggest that two rival Nihang groups have staked claims over the ownership of the Gurdwara. The clash between Nihang Singh and the Police erupted after the cops tried to vacate the Gurdwara from one group manned by Mann Singh. His members allegedly started firing indiscriminately at the police team, killing a police constable and injuring five policemen, who are presently admitted to the local hospital.
Police have arrested 10 Nihangs for occupying Dera Peer Geb on village Busowal Road. Some of them are also wanted in the murder case registered in a similar clash in 2020. According to SSP Vatsala Gupta, for many years Baba Budha Dal in front of Gurudwara Sri Ber Sahib was under the control of 96 crore Baba Balbir Singh Singh, on whose behalf he had placed two of his servants in Gurudwara Akal Bunga, whose names were Nirvair Singh and Jagjit Singh.
