In a written release issued yesterday, the Shiromani Akali Dal Amritsar (Mann) said that the police also conducted raids across the state in the wee hours at the houses of other Sikh leaders.

SAD (Mann) said that the party chief Simranjit Singh Mann has filed a writ petition in Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking permissions to hold the concerned gathering.

As per media reports Simranjit Singh Mann and other leaders have also applied for anticipatory bails in order to avoid arrests.

The Tribune quotes ADGP (Intelligence) Gaurav Yadav saying: “Resham [Singh] was booked for sedition last year when he attended the ‘Sarbat Khalsa’. He had left the country before the case was registered. A lookout notice was issued against him and several others at various airports. The arrest was made as per the legal procedure.”

As per The Tribune Yadav, however, denied that raids were conducted at the houses of organizers of the November 10 event.
