The clash had left three people dead and many injured, while property worth lakhs was reduced to ashes.

“As we have gone through the entire incident, it seems that the attack on Gurdwara and Sikh community was preplanned”, said Gaud.
Condemning the registration of FIRs against unknown Sikhs, VHP leaders alleged that police has been deliberately targeting Sikhs.
“Police should not take action against anyone, until it gets any proof”, he said.
The VHP’s move came days after the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) chief reclaimed that as per RSS ideology, the Sikhs were part of Hindus.
