Sacrilege plot hatched at Dera Sacha Sauda in Sirsa, claims Punjab

Chandigarh, December 17

The state has told the Punjab and Haryana High Court that a conspiracy to carry out scurrilous acts was hatched at the Dera Sacha Sauda’s administrative block in Sirsa. The matter was placed before Justice Amol Rattan Singh and will now come up on December 22.

Responding to a petition filed by the dera head, SIT member Mukhwinder Singh Bhullar submitted that the confessional statements of the accused clearly indicated that the conspiracy was hatched at a common place — the administrative block. The “common accused” directed the actual perpetrators of the crime to commit acts of sacrilege in a particular area of Punjab, the reply said. — TNS
