Ludhiana: The district police has booked Sri Guru Granth Sahib Satikar Committee chief Sukhjit Singh Khosa and 12 others under FIR number 22 dated 20/07/2015 under sections 353 and 186 of Indian Penal Code (IPC).

A police party led by SI Harjinder Singh (SHO, PS Dakha) presented 13 persons including Bhai Sukhjit Singh Khosa and Bagicha Singh Waraich before the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate First Class, Harpreet Singh.

Police had demanded 14 days police remand of all 13 persons alleging that they had posed serious threat to law and order situation.

Advocate Jaspal Singh Manjhpur who appeared for the Singhs, strongly opposed the police remand.

After hearing both parties, the court turned down the police plea for remand and sent all 13 persons to judicial custody for 14 days.

In a statement issued later this evening Ludhiana rural SSP Ravcharan Singh Brar said that 43 persons were arrested from Bapu Surat Singh’s house on Monday (July 20). He said that 30 persons were released by the police, where a case has been registered against remaining 13 persons including Sukhjit Singh Khosa and others.
