Police ensure radical Sikh leaders are kept away from Dalleke

The Moga police left no stone unturned to ensure that leaders of Sant Samaj and other radical leaders could not make it to Dalleke village where tension between the followers of Dera Sacha Sauda and radical Sikhs continue. The village witnessed clashes between the two groups last Sunday that left four people injured. 

The radical Sikh leaders had called a meeting at the village gurdwara on Thursday. The police stopped these leaders from heading towards the village by rounding them up on the way. Only a few member of the Akal Purakh Ki Fauj’s Jodhpurwale Singh managed to reach the gurdwara. Some leaders, however, gathered at the nearby Gurdwara Bibi Kaahan Kaur and urged all parties to maintain peace till a communication from the Akal Takht was received. 

Kuldeep Singh of Damdami Taksal said Baljit Singh Daduwal was stopped by the police at Kot Shamir near Bathinda while Sant Gumreet Singh and his jatha, coming from Tiloka Haryana, were stopped at Baghapurana and were taken to Samlsar police station. Resham Singh Khukrana another radical Sikh leaders was taken to the Sadar police station.
