On 14 September, the SIT had questioned Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal in connection with the case.

The incidents relate to the theft of a ‘bir’ (copy) of the Guru Granth Sahib, handwritten sacrilegious posters, and pages of the holy book being torn at Bargari in Faridkot seven years ago.

These incidents had triggered protests during which two people were killed at Behbal Kalan and few injured at Kotkapura in police firing.

The Akali Dal had earlier accused the Aam Aadmi Party government of doing politics over the case in order to divert people’s attention from its “failures”.
