Several Sikh outfits protested against the alleged cutting of hair
of an inmate at the Bathinda Central Jail. SSP and DC Bathinda were handed over with a memorandum by the
leaders of these outfits demanding action against those responsible for cutting
the hair of gangster Rajveer Singh.
The SGPC deeply condemned the incident and asked for strict
action to be taken against the perpetrators, last week. President of Dal
Khalsa, Baba Hardeep Singh, Lakhbir Singh from Satkar Sabha, and Baldev Singh
Sirsa with other supporters and members from multiple Sikh organizations
assembled near Ambedkar Chowk and launched a procession against the case before
submitting the memorandum to the senior officials of police and city
administration.
A week ago as per several media reports, gangster Rajveer along
with his aides and other inmate had allegedly beaten up the warden of the jail
they are locked in (Bathinda Central Jail). When Rajveer was produced before a
local court for the hearing, he while talking to the media, had complained
about the alleged harassment by the jail authorities.
