Jagraon: A firing incident at Gurdwara Gopalsar Gagra near Jagraon in Punjab has prompted a police investigation after an unidentified, masked motorcyclist allegedly fired two rounds outside the shrine and left behind a threatening letter, according to details attributed to police and local reports.
The incident reportedly took place late at night. The letter allegedly contained threats against several individuals, including the Jathedar of Sri Akal Takht Sahib, Gurdwara Gopalsar Gagra’s chief sevadaar Baba Amarjit Singh and Youth Akali Dal leader Gurinder Singh Rummi.
Police have registered a case and begun investigating the firing and the contents of the letter. The identity of the person responsible and the motive behind the incident have not yet been established.
What Was Mentioned In The Threat Letter?
According to the reported contents of the letter, it referred to leaders associated with the Akali-BJP camp, Baba Amarjit Singh and Gurinder Singh Rummi. The letter allegedly objected to Rummi’s association with the Akali Dal and Baba Amarjit Singh’s decision to honour Akali leaders and the Jathedar.
The letter also reportedly referred to an earlier firing incident at Rummi’s residence and contained further warnings of serious consequences.
These claims remain allegations contained in the letter. Their authenticity and the circumstances surrounding the incident will need to be established through the police investigation.
What Did Police Say About The Firing?
According to the information cited in local reports, police said an unidentified motorcyclist whose face was covered fired two rounds late at night before leaving the scene.
Police officials reached the spot after receiving information about the incident and began collecting details. Investigators are also questioning people who were allegedly named in the threat letter as part of their inquiry.
A case has been registered, and police are working to identify and trace the suspect. Officials have not yet publicly established who carried out the firing or why the gurdwara was targeted.
Investigation Underway
The incident has raised concerns over security at the religious site and the threats allegedly made against Sikh religious and political figures. However, the motive behind the firing and the credibility of the letter’s claims remain unclear.
Further details are expected to emerge as investigators examine the evidence and question people connected to the case. Until then, the identity of the suspect and any alleged links to the individuals named in the letter remain unconfirmed.
