On the other hand, some Sikh leaders who assembled there to protest Akal Takht Jathedar’s address claimed there was a group comprising clean shaven youths which was not part of their protest.

The alleged accused were nabbed by some pilgrims. They were reportedly drunk and loitering in the Darbar Sahib complex. They were handed over to the police, but according to the media reports they were let away by the police without taking any action.
