Punjab govt disallows DSGMC probe panel to hold enquiry

Ludhiana, Dec 19 (PTI) The Punjab government today prevented a Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) panel from probing a police firing incident in the town in which a Sikh protester was killed.

The state government did not allow Justice T S Doabia, a retired Jammu and Kashmir High Court judge, appointed by DSGMC president Paramjit Singh Sarna to conduct an enquiry into the December 5 firing incident in which a Sikh protester was killed and 12 others were injured, officials said.

The protesters were marching towards Samrala Chowk to stop the religious congregation of Dera head Ashutosh Mahraj which was in progress there.

SSP Sukhchain Singh Gill told Justice Doabia on his arrival at a Gurudwara in Model Town here that the state government had banned the enquiry proceedings in Ludhiana as tension still prevailed there.

Doabia said he would conduct his enquiry at Delhi itself.
